Question 466151: graph the function f by starting with the graph of y = x2 and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection).
[Hint: If necessary, write f in the form f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k.]


I appreciate any help, thank you!

graph the function f by starting with the graph of y = x2 and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection).
---
Start: y = x^2
---
Shift left 2 units:
y = (x+2)^2
----
Compress:
y = 3(x+2)^2
---
Stretch:
y = (3/2)(x+2)^2
----
Reflect in the y-axis
y = (-3/2)(x+2)^2
