Compare the graph of $s ( x ) = 5 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } + 9$ with $s ( x ) = x ^ { 2 }$.
A) $s ( x ) = 5 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } + 9$ shifts right 5 units, shifts downward 9 units, and shrinks by a factor of $\frac { 1 } { 5 }$.
B) $s ( x ) = 5 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } + 9$ shifts right 5 units, shifts upward 9 units, and stretches by a factor of 5 .
C) $s ( x ) = 5 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } + 9$ shifts left 5 units, shifts downward 9 units, and stretches by a factor of 5 .
D) $s ( x ) = 5 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } + 9$ shifts right 5 units, shifts upward 9 units, and shrinks by a factor of $\frac { 1 } { 5 }$.
E) $s ( x ) = 5 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } + 9$ shifts left 5 units, shifts upward 9 units, and stretches by a factor of 5 .

The correct transformation of $s(x) = 5(x - 5)^2 + 9$ compared to $s(x) = x^2$ includes a horizontal shift to the right by 5 units due to the $x - 5$ term, an upward shift by 9 units due to the $+9$, and a vertical stretch by a factor of 5 because of the coefficient 5 in front of the squared term.
