SOLUTION: Describe what is happening in the following function with a parent gragh function f (x) =x^2 j(x) = (-(x+8))^2

Question 1088536: Describe what is happening in the following function with a parent gragh function f (x) =x^2
j(x) = (-(x+8))^2

j(x) = (-(x+8))^2
:
j(x) shifts the parent function 8 units to the left
:
here is the graph of f(x) = x^2 (red line) and the graph of j(x) = (-(x+8))^2 (green line)
