Begin by graphing the standard quadratic function f(x)=x^2. Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. Describe the transformations in words.
h(x)=-(x-2)^2-4
---------------------
Start:: y = x^2
1st move:: Shift 2 to the right to get: y = (x-2)^2-4
2nd move:: Vertical up 8 to get:: y = (x-2)^2+4
3rd move:: Reflect in x-axis to get:: h(x) = -(x-2)^2-4
