Answer

a) $f(x)=x^2$ b) Horizontal shift one unit to the left, reflection across the $x$-axis, vertical shift downward c) See graph d) $g(x)=-f(x+1)-3$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $g(x)=-3-(x+1)^2$ a) The parent function is: $f(x)=x^2$ b) Horizontally shift $f(x)$ one unit to the left to get $a(x)=(x+1)^2$. Reflect $a(x)$ across the $x$-axis to get $b(x)=-(x+1)^2$. Vertically shift $b(x)$ 3 units downward to get $g(x)=-3-(x+1)^2$. c) Graph the transformations: d) Use function notation to write $g$ in terms of $f$: $g(x)=-f(x+1)-3$
