Answer:
<em>C) left 2 units, down 9 units, vertical compression by a factor of 0.5.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis and if there is a vertical stretch.
</em>
<em>Parent Function: </em>
<em>g
(
x
)
=
x
2
</em>
<u><em>Horizontal Shift: Left 2 Units</em></u>
<u><em>Down: 9 Units</em></u>
<u><em>
Vertical Shift: Down 0.5 Units</em></u><em>
</em>
<em>Reflection about the x-axis: None
</em>
<em>Reflection about the y-axis: None
</em>
<em>Vertical Compression or Stretch: Compressed</em>
