Describe the transformations applied to the graph of f(x) = x³ to obtain the graph of g(x) = -(x + 1)³ + 2.

A Shift left 1, shift up 2, reflect across the x-axis.
B Shift right 1, shift up 2, reflect across the x-axis.
C Shift left 1, shift down 2, reflect across the y-axis.
D Shift right 1, shift down 2, reflect across the y-axis.

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

The `+1` inside the parenthesis shifts the graph left by 1 unit. The `+2` outside shifts it up by 2 units. The negative sign in front reflects the graph across the x-axis.
