Question 49617: could you state all the transformations for the quadratic formula, y-3=-2(x+3)^2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y-3=-2(x+3)^2
You start at "x^2"
Then "x+3" moves the graph 3 units to the left.
Then "-2" reflects the curve in the x axis and
makes it narrower.
Then "-3" moves the whole curve up three units.
