Question

Sandy was asked to describe the transformation of y=-3(x - 4)^2 - 6 from the parent graph of y=x^2

She said it was shifted 4 units to the left, stretched by a factor of 3, reflected over the y-axis, and
shifted 6 units down.

What 2 mistakes did Sandy make?

Answer 1

As below.

Explanation:

The -4 shifts the graph to the right not the left.

The second error is the refection is over the x-axis not the y-axis.
