Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Transformations Graph: f(x) = a(bx - c)² + d
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Reflected down and vertically stretched by 1/3: a = -1/3
Shifted vertically by 9 units: d = 9
Shifted horizontally by -12 units: c = -12
Step 2: Write Vertex Form
Step 3: Write Standard Form
And we have our final answers!
