I'm unsure how to approach solving this, and plotting the graph appropriately.


Answer:
Recall that:
1.- A translation in the y-axis, h units of a function g(x) has the form:
[tex]g(x)+h\text{.}[/tex]2.- A translation in the x-axis has the form:
[tex]g(x+h)\text{.}[/tex]3.- A dilation of g(x) in the x-axis by a a factor has the form:
[tex]g(ax)\text{.}[/tex]Notice that:
[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]Therefore, the given function is f(x) dilated in the x-axis by a factor of 1/3,
translated in the x-axis 1 unit to the right and in the y-axis 4 units down.
