Answer

Each of these functions are made by applying different transformations to the graph $(a)$. (See the image below.)

Work Step by Step

Each of these functions are made by applying transformation to the $(a)$ graph. (See the image above.) (b) $y=f(-x)$ is reflection of graph $(a)$ about $y$-axis (c) $y=-f(-x)$ is reflection of the graph $(a)$ over both $y$-axis and $x$-axis. (d) $y=f(-2x)$, is first reflected about $y$-axis and then shrunk horizontally by a factor of $2$. (e) $y=f(-\frac{1}{2}x)$, is first reflected about $y$-axis and then stretched horizontally by a factor of $2$.
