To identify the equation of the transformed function, we need to first observe the changes in the graph compared to the basic quadratic function $y = x^2$.

Steps to determine the transformation:

1. Horizontal shift: Check if the graph has shifted left or right from the original function. For example, if the vertex is at $(h, k)$ instead of $(0, 0)$, the function has been shifted horizontally. The equation for this would be $(x - h)^2$.

2. Vertical shift: Determine if the graph has shifted up or down. If the vertex is at a point above or below the x-axis, the function has been shifted vertically. The equation would then become $(x - h)^2 + k$.

3. Reflection: If the graph opens downward, the function is reflected over the x-axis, and we would have a negative sign in front of the quadratic term, like $- (x - h)^2 + k$.

By examining the vertex and other points, we can determine these transformations. Let me analyze the graph in the image and find the corresponding transformations for the equation. PIL import Image
