Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Vertex of the Parabola
The vertex of the parabola is at the point \((2, -4)\).
Step 2: Determine the Transformation
The given function \(x^2\) has been shifted right by 2 units and down by 4 units.
Step 3: Write the Equation
The transformation of \(x^2\) to the vertex form \(a(x-h)^2 + k\) where \(h = 2\) and \(k = -4\) results in the equation:
\[ g(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 4 \]
