Algebra-2

To determine the correct transformation for the function after it is reflected across the x-axis, stretched horizontally by a factor of 4, and shifted 1 unit down, let’s analyze each transformation step-by-step.

 

Reflection across the x-axis:

Reflecting across the x-axis changes to .

 

Horizontal Stretch by a Factor of 4:

A horizontal stretch by a factor of 4 is achieved by replacing x with .
