Answer:
C) left 2 units, down 9 units, vertical compression by a factor of 0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
Parent Function:
g ( x ) = x 2
Horizontal Shift: Left 2 Units
Down: 9 Units
Vertical Shift: Down 0.5 Units
Reflection about the x-axis: None
Reflection about the y-axis: None
Vertical Compression or Stretch: Compressed
