Q. Which transformations correctly describe the change from the parent graph y=x2y=x^{2} to the function y=4x25y=-4x^{2}-5? Select ALL that apply.\newlinea. Vertical Reflection\newlineb. Horizontal shift right\newlinec. Vertical Shrink\newlined. Horizontal shift left\newlinee. Vertical Stretch\newlinef. Vertical shift down
  1. Analyze Coefficient of x2x^2: Analyze the coefficient of x2x^2 in both equations. The parent graph has y=x2y = x^2, and the new function has y=4x2y = -4x^2. The coefficient changes from 11 to 4-4 and flips sign, indicating a Vertical Reflection and a Vertical Shrink by a factor of 44.
  2. Check for Horizontal Shifts: Check for any horizontal shifts. The x2x^2 term in both equations does not have any added or subtracted constants inside the parentheses with xx, which means there are no horizontal shifts.
  3. Examine Constant Term: Examine the constant term in the new function. The parent graph y=x2y = x^2 has no constant term, but the new function has 5-5. This indicates a Vertical shift down by 55 units.
