What transformations have been enacted upon 
when compared to its parent function, 
?
What transformations have been enacted upon
First, we need to get this function into a more standard form.
Now we can see that while the function is being horizontally compressed by a factor of 2, it's being translated 3 units to the right, not 6. (It's also being vertically stretched by a factor of 4, of course.)

Write the transformation of the given function moved five units to the left:
Write the transformation of the given function moved five units to the left:
To transform the function horizontally, we must make an addition or subtraction to the input, x. Because we are asked to move the function to the left, we must add the number of units we are moving. This is the opposite of what one would expect, but if we are inputting values that are to the left of the original, they are less than what would have originally been. So, to counterbalance this, we add the units of the transformation.
For our function being transformed five units to the left, we get

Transform the function by moving it two units up, and five units to the left:
Transform the function by moving it two units up, and five units to the left:
To transform a function we use the following formula,
where h represents the horizontal shift and v represents the vertical shift.
In this particular case we want to shift to the left five units,
and vertically up two units,
.
Therefore, the transformed function becomes,
.

Write the transformation of the given function flipped, and moved one unit to the left:
Write the transformation of the given function flipped, and moved one unit to the left:
To transform a function horizontally, we must add or subtract the units we transform to x directly. To move left, we add units to x, which is opposite what one thinks should happen, but keep in mind that to move left is to be more negative. To flip a function, the entire function changes in sign.
After making both of these changes, we get
