snap. i forgot the function that gives this shape >.< so i can't help with the first part.

for the second part:
i: f(-x) means a reflection of the entire graph about the y axis, so it'd still be the same thing.
ii: -f(x) means you reflect everything about the x axis, so u'd expect to have 2 "local minimums" at (-1, -1) and (1, -1)
iii: f(x-1) means you translate the entire graph to the right one unit so the new "local max" would be at (0,1) and (2,1)
iv: f(2x) means you dilate the entire graph by half from the y axis, i.e. all the y values are left unchanged but the corresponding x values are halved. so the local maxes would be (-0.5, 1) and (0.5, 1)

hope that helps
