Functions and Their Graphs · Superchallenge problem

The graph of y=f(x)y=f(x) is transformed in three steps, in this order: it is reflected across the yy-axis; then shifted 44 units to the right; then compressed horizontally by a factor of 12\tfrac12 (each point (x,y)(x,y) moves to (x2,y)(\tfrac{x}{2},y)). The final graph is y=4x2−4x+3y=4x^2-4x+3. Find f(x)f(x), written in the form ax2+bx+cax^2+bx+c.
