F%28x%29=%28x%2B2%29%5E2
to graph it first make a table
note F%28x%29=y
x| y........choose several values for x and calculate y
-6| 16...F%28-6%29=%28-6%2B2%29%5E2=%28-4%29%5E2=16
-4| 4...F%28-4%29=%28-4%2B2%29%5E2=%28-2%29%5E2=4
-2| 0...F%28-2%29=%28-2%2B2%29%5E2=0
-1| 1...F%28-1%29=%28-1%2B2%29%5E2=1%5E2=1
0| 4...F%280%29=%280%2B2%29%5E2=2%5E2=4
1| 9...F%281%29=%281%2B2%29%5E2=3%5E2=9
2| 16...F%282%29=%282%2B2%29%5E2=4%5E2=16

since you have a parabola, plot the points above and draw a parabola through

Just graph the parent function: matrix%281%2C3%2C+y%2C+%22=%22%2C+x%5E2%29

Then, because 2 is ADDED to x, and then SQUARED, move/slide the graph 2 UNITS to the left!

That's IT!!
