The function g(x) is a transformation of the quadratic parent function, f(x)
What function is g(x)?

Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function is the quadratic function, that is:
[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]
Function g:
The function g is the function f concave down, that is, -f.
Also, for the parent function, we have that y = 1 when x = 1. On the function g, otherwise, we have that when x = 1, y = -1/3. So:
[tex]g(x) = -\frac{1}{3}f(x) = -\frac{1}{3}x^2[/tex]
The correct answer is given by option A.
