Two different transformations happen. Rotation/Reflection and translation (I say rotation/reflection because they can both put the parabola where it is after being transformed)
(Rotation- 180 degrees)
(Reflection across its it's starting point)
Translation- pushed up 4 points from negative 4 to 0 on the y-axis
When you put the parent function into a graph it is positive so the u is opening upward and starts at -4. Both sides of the u go through the points (0,0)and (4,0).
But in the transformed function is negative so the u opens downward. The sides going through the points (0,-4) and (4,-4)
