To analyze the transformations from \( f(x) = x^2 \) to \( g(x) = -(2x - 2)^2 + 2 \), let's break it down step-by-step.
- Start with \( f(x) = x^2 \).
- Horizontal transformation: The term \( 2x - 2 \) indicates a factor of 2, which will compress the function horizontally by a factor of \( \frac{1}{2} \) (since it’s in the form of \( kx \), where \( k = 2 \), compression occurs).
- Translation: The term \( -2 \) in the expression \( 2x - 2 \) indicates a translation to the right by 1 unit (since \( x - 1 = 2 \) gives us \( x = 1 \)).
- Reflection: The negative sign outside the squared term (the leading negative in \( g(x) \)) indicates that the function is reflected across the x-axis.
- Vertical translation: The \( +2 \) at the end means we translate the function up by 2 units.
Collating the transformations, we have:
- Compressed horizontally
- Translated to the right
- Reflected across the x-axis
- Translated up
Based on these explanations, the selected transformations are:
- Compressed horizontally
- Translated to the right
- Reflected across the x-axis
- Translated up
