Which functions have a maximum and are transformed to the left and down of the parent function, f(x) = x2? Check all that apply.

A parabola has a maximum when it opens downward, so its squared-term coefficient must be negative. In vertex form, the vertex also shows the shifts: B has vertex (-10, -1), so it moves left and down; E can be rewritten as -2(x + 1)^2 - 1, giving vertex (-1, -1). Both have a maximum and are shifted left and down from f(x) = x².
