The graph of f(x) = x2 was transformed to create the graph of g(x) = (2x)2 – 4. Which of these describes the transformation from the graph of f to the graph of g?

Answer:
A. Horizontal Stretch and vertical shift down 4
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying by a number greater than one, its a stretch. When it is less than one it is a compression.
2 is greater than 1 so its a horizontal stretch.
When there is a number outside of the () then that number determines how high or how low you go depending on the sign.
Our number is -4 so we go down 4.
