describe the sequance of trnsformation from f(x)=x^2 to g. Then sketch the graph of g. verify with a graphing ulitity.
g(x)=(x+4)^2
-------------------
f graphs as a parabola opening upward from vertex (0,0)
-----------------------
Transpose f 4 units to the left and you get a parabola
opening upward from vertex(-4,0)
--------------------------------
The transposed parabola is g(x) = (x+4)^2
