\n" ); document.write( "Using the vertex form of a parabola, \"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk\" where(h,k) is the vertex
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)=x^2 (green)
\n" ); document.write( "step1: equaton for the graph that has been flipped over the x-axis. f(x)= -x^2 (blue)
\n" ); document.write( "step2: equation for the graph that has also been shifted down 4 units.
\n" ); document.write( " f(x) = -x^2-4 (Purple)
\n" ); document.write( "step3: f(x) = -(x+1)^2-4 (Yellow) shifted 1 unit to the left
