Without Graphing the Function, State the Shift(s) That Are Applied $$f ( x ) = - ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } - 6$$

Multiple Choice

Without graphing the function, state the shift(s) that are applied to the graph of f(x) = x2 to graph the given function. If
the graph of f(x) = x2 must be rotated about the x-axis, state this.
- $$f ( x ) = - ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } - 6$$

A) right 2 units, down 6 units
B) rotate about x-axis, right 2 units, down 6 units
C) rotate about x-axis, left 2 units, down 6 units
D) left 2 units, down 6 units
