Problem

Let f(x)=(x−1)2−4f(x)=(x-1)^2-4. (1) Describe the transformation which transforms y=f(x)y=f(x) to y=f(−x)y=f(-x). (2) Describe the transformation which transforms y=f(−x)y=f(-x) to y=f(−12x)y=f\left(-\frac{1}{2}x\right). (3) Hence draw the graphs of y=f(x)y=f(x), y=f(−x)y=f(-x), and y=f(−12x)y=f\left(-\frac{1}{2}x\right) on the same set of axes.
