Could you explain your answer?


If it's wrong it should be report called "improper answer."

No need to spamming answers! If you spamming and that's going to mark your answer report.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Write each parabola in standard form.

f(x) = x²

f(x) = (x − 0)² + 0

For p(x), complete the square.

p(x) = -50 + 14x − x²

p(x) = -(x² − 14x + 50)

p(x) = -(x² − 14x + 49 + 1)

p(x) = -(x² − 14x + 49) − 1

p(x) = -(x − 7)² − 1

The transformation from f(x) to p(x) includes a reflection about the x-axis, a shift right 7 units, and a shift down 1 unit.

The answer is A.
