Let the graph of g be a horizontal shrink by a factor of 2/3, followed by a translation 5 units left and 2 units down of the graph of f(x)=x^2. Write a rule for g.
g(x)=?
------
f(x) = x^2
horizontal shrink by factor of 2/3
f(x) = (2/3)x^2
-----
translation 5 units left
f(x) = (2/3)(x+5)^2
------
2 units down::
g(x) = (2/3)(x+5)^2 - 2
