The parent function f(x)=x2 has been transformed to make the function g(x) by reflection f(x) over the x-axis , vertically shrinking by a factor of 1/2 and translating 2 units up. The equation for g(x) is expressed in which of the functions below

Given:
There are given that the parent function:
[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]Explanation:
According to the concept:
The function reflected over the x-axis means, we need to multiply with a negative sign.
That means:
[tex]g(x)=-x^2[/tex]And,
Vertically shrinking by a factor of 1/2 means, multiply by 1/2 in the entire function:
So,
[tex]g(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x^2[/tex]Then,
Translating 2 units up means, adding 2 in the entire function:
So,
[tex]g(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x^2+2[/tex]Final answer:
Hence, the correct option is C.
