Using translation concepts, the equation of F(x) is given as follows:
-3(x + 1)² - 4.
What is a translation?
A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.
The effect of the transformations on G(x) = x² is given as follows:
- Reflection over the x-axis: F(x) = -G(x) = -x².
- Vertical stretch by a factor of 3: F(x) = -3G(x) = -3x².
- Shift down of 4 units: F(x) = -3G(x) - 4 = -3x² - 4.
- Shift left of 1 units: F(x) = -3G(x + 1) - 4 = -3(x + 1)² - 4.
