Question

The function g(x) is a transformation of the quadratic parent function, f(x)=x2. What function is g(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your graph of f(x)= $x^2$ is the parent function. What you need to know for this graph what the stretch or compression is and what the flip is. When you flip somehting over the x-axis, which is g(x), your $x^2$ is negative. Also, since your graph gets skinnier, the number before the x would be a whole number, with no fractions. The only answer that fulfills this is answer choice D.
