$f (x)$ $f(x)$ is the parent graph of $g (x)$ $g(x)$ . See below.

Explanation:

Basically, $f (x)$ $f(x)$ is the original graph , while $g (x)$ $g(x)$ is the result of $f (x)$ $f(x)$ after it went through transformations .

Notice how in $g (x)$ $g(x)$ , $x^{2}$ $x^2$ (which is the same as $f (x)$ $f(x)$ ) is stretched by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ and moved downwards 5 units.

If we take away these two transformations on $g (x)$ $g(x)$ , it'll look like $f (x)$ $f(x)$ .
