Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]f(x) =x^2[/tex] is, in vertex form,
[tex]f(x)=(x-h)^2+k[/tex] where h and k, the vertex, is (0, 0). It is positive because it opens upwards.
g(x) opens downward, so we know that it is negative. Because it is DOWN 4 units from the origin, is has been moved down -4. Putting that together, we can determine that the equation for g(x) is
[tex]g(x)=-x^2-4[/tex], choice D in your list.
