What transformations change the graph of f(x) to the graph of g(x)? f(x) = -5x^2, g(x) = -20x^2-8 provide explanation

i) Transformation is first horizontally shrinking by a scale factor of 2 and then

ii) vertically shifting down by 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

given that original graph is

It is first shrunk by a scale factor of 2 horizontally.

i.e. x = 2X

Hence we got f(x) transformed = -5(2x)^2 = -20x^2

Next transformation is vertically down by 8 units.

Now new function is f2(x) = -20x^2-8

This is our g(x) = -20x^2-8

Thus we have a series of two transformations as

i) Horizontally shrinking by a scale factor of 2

ii) followed by vertical shifting down by 8 units.

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.
