  1. The quadratic function \(y=\left( A-C \right){{x}^{2}}+\left( 3B-2 \right)x+1\), where \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) are real numbers, is obtained by transforming the function \(y=A{{x}^{2}}+Bx+C\) through the following sequence of transformations:
    Step 1: Translation of \(5\) units in the negative \(y\)-axis direction;
    Step 2: Scaling parallel to the \(x\)-axis with scale factor \(\frac{1}{2}\).
    Show that \(4A+B+C=0\).[3]
