Question 930464: how do I graph the parabola of this question? thanks!
f(x)=(x+3)^2-1

f(x)=(x+3)^2-1
.
the standard function is:
f(x) = x^2 (parabola)
then
f(x)=(x+3)^2 (horizontal shift 3 units to the left)
finally,
f(x)=(x+3)^2-1 (vertical shift down one unit
.
conclusion:
transform x^2
2 units to the left
and
1 unit down
