Transforming Polynomial Functions

Which transformation maps the graph of
f(x) = x² to the graph of g(x) = (x + 4)²?

• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units up
• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units down
• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the left
• a translation shifting f(x) 4 units to the right

In the equation f(x)=1/2(x+9)²-1, what happens to the parabola?

• Reflect, horizontal compress by 1/2, left 9, down 1
• Horizontal Compress by 1/2, right 9, down 1
• Vertical Stretch by 1/2, left 9, down 1

• Vertical compression by a factor of 2, and shifted right by 1 unit

• Reflected over the x-axis, vertical stretch by a factor of 2, and shift left by 1 unit

• Reflected over the y-axis by a factor of 2, and shifted up by 1 unit

• Reflected over the x-axis, horizontal compression by a factor of 2, and shifted down by 1 unit
