The functions f(x) and g(x) are shown on the graph.F(x)=x^2What is g(x)?A. g(x)= -x^2+3B. g(x)=(-x)^2-3C. g(x)=(-x)^2+3D.g(x)= -x^2-3

On observation of the graphs of the two functions, we can see that f(x) has undergone some transformation to give g(x).
The original function is given as
[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]The function is reflected over the x-axis.
The rule for the reflection over the x-axis is given as
[tex]f(x)\to-f(x)[/tex]Applying this to the function, we have the new function to be
[tex]-x^2[/tex]The graph is also shifted downwards by 3 units.
This shift can be represented as
[tex]f(x)\to f(x)-3[/tex]Applying this to our function, we have the new function, g(x), to be
[tex]g(x)=-x^2-3[/tex]The correct option is OPTION D.
