See below

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ (x) = x²; g (x) = 3x² - 2

In g (x),

The coefficient of x² is greater than 1, so the graph is narrowed about the axis of symmetry. The constant term is - 2, so the graph is shifted down two units.

In the figure, ƒ (x) is the blue graph and g (x) is the red graph.
