Question

translate -2(x-3)^2 - 5

Answer 1

standard form= a(x-h)^2+k
h is horizontal translation (x-h is to the right, x+h is to the left of the y axis)
k is vertical translation (+k is up, -k is down)

Answer 2

can you show me step by step on how to do it

Answer 3

depends what you want to do. Translate to where?

Answer 4

the transformations im supposed to do is stretch/compression, reflection & translating/shifting

Answer 5

oh ok. i've written the transformation for you above.
reflection: -a for downwards parabola, +a for upwards
compression: 0<a<1 -> compress, a>1-> stretch

Answer 6

so its a stretch and not a compression?
