Use the facts and graph below to write the equation for g(x). - this graph shows g(x)
- it looks like the graph of the parent function f(x)=x^2
However:
- it has been reflected (flipped) over the x-axis.

- it has been shifted down 4 units.

- it has been shifted left 1 unit.

Step 1: Start with the equation f(x)=x^2. Write the equation for the graph of g(x) that has been reflected, or flipped, over the x-axis.

Step 2: use the equation you wrote in Step 1. Write the equation for the graph of g(x) that has also been shifted down 4 units.

Step 3: use the equation you wrote in step 2. Write the equation for the graph of g(x) that has been shifted left 1 unit.
