The function is
.
Take out negative one as a common factor.
\
Complete the square.
\
The function is a power function.
\The standard form of the power function is

Now substitute
instead of
in the power function.
.
So
.
Horizontal shift :
, shift the graph of
a distance
units to the left.
Reflection :
, reflect the graph of
about the
axis.
Vertical shift :
, shift the graph of
a distance
units upward.
Therefore,
is the graph of
shift
unit to the left and after that reflect about
axis.
Next shift to a distance of
units upward.
