The function g(x)= -3-(x+5)^2 is the transformation of parent function f(x)=x^2. Describe the sequence of transformations from f to g.

Question

Multiple Choice:

A. Translate the parent function 3 units down, then reflect across the x-axis, followed by a translation of 5 units to the left.

B. Translate the parent function 5 units left, then 3 units down, followed by a relfection across the x-axis.

C. Reflect the parent function across the x-axis, then translate 3 units down, followed by a translation 5 units to the right.

D. Reflect the parent function across the x-axis, then translate 5 units left, followed by a translation 3 units down.

Answer 1

The last thing to do is the vertical translation (down 3). Then you can reflect and move to the left so the answer is D
