You know how y=x^2 is on the coordinate plane.
Yours is 4 units to the left. Vertex is a maximum point (-4,0).

Parent function of a quadratic: matrix%281%2C6%2C+f%28x%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+x%5E2%2C+%22%2C%22%2C+or%2C+%28x+%2B+0%29%5E2%29

 -------- This means that the parent function, matrix%281%2C3%2C+f%28x%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+x%5E2%29 is SLID 4 units to the left 

 ----- This means that the TRANSFORMED parent function, or matrix%281%2C3%2C+f%28x%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+%28x+%2B+4%29%5E2%29 is FLIPPED, or REFLECTED in the x-axis.
