THANK YOU (PLEASE HELP) <3 C: TYS PLZZZ Write an equation of a parabola that is wider than the parent function, reflects across the x-axis and the vertex has been shifted down 4.

y=-2x^2-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola is wider than it's parent function, y = x^2. Therefore the coefficient, of x^2 (when you refer to quadratic equations it's a) should be greater than 1. Let's take 2.

y = 2x^2

Now it is reflected across the x-axis, so the equation turns to y = -2x^2. The vertex is shifted down 4. Note that it is shifted down, along the y-axis. This makes 'c' (again quadratic equations) -4.

Final Equation: y=-2x^2-4

step-by-step explanation:
