Answer 1

To analyze the transformations from \( f(x) = x^2 \) to \( g(x) = -(2x - 2)^2 + 2 \), let's break it down step by step.

1. **Start from \( f(x) = x^2 \)**.
2. **Horizontal stretching/compression**:
- The expression \( 2x \) indicates a horizontal compression by a factor of \( \frac{1}{2} \). This means that the graph will be compressed horizontally.
3. **Horizontal translation**:
- The expression \( 2x - 2 \) means the function is translated to the right by 1 unit (since setting \( 2x - 2 = 0 \) gives \( x = 1 \)).
4. **Reflection across the x-axis**:
- The negative sign in front of the squared term indicates that the graph is reflected across the x-axis.
5. **Vertical translation**:
- The addition of \( +2 \) indicates that the graph is translated up by 2 units.

Now, summarizing these transformations:

- **Compressed horizontally** (due to the coefficient of \( x \) being 2)
- **Translated to the right** (by 1 unit)
- **Reflected across the x-axis** (due to the negative sign)
- **Translated up** (by 2 units)

Thus, the selected transformations are:
- Compressed horizontally
- Translated to the right
- Reflected across the x-axis
- Translated up
