Describe the transformations performed on f(x)=x^2, to make the following:

\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Start with f(x) = x²\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "which has this blue graph:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "then we multiply the right side by 2, which stretches the graph\r\n" );
document.write( "by a factor or 2:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "giving the green graph:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "g(x) = 2x²\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then we subtract 1 from the right side, which shifts the graph\r\n" );
