Transcript text: The graph above is a transformation of the function $f(x)=x^{2}$
Write an equation for the function graphed above.
\[
g(x)=
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Parent Function
The parent function given is \( f(x) = x^2 \).
Step 2: Analyze the Transformation
Observe the graph to determine the transformations applied to the parent function. The graph appears to be a downward parabola, indicating a vertical reflection. Additionally, the vertex of the parabola is at (0, 3), indicating a vertical shift.
Step 3: Write the Transformed Function
The vertical reflection means the function is multiplied by -1, and the vertical shift up by 3 units means adding 3 to the function. Therefore, the transformed function is:
\[ g(x) = -x^2 + 3 \]
