Question

g(x)= (x+4)^2 +3 - would I shift to left 4 then shift upwards 3 units?

Answer 1

yep so your vertex would be at (-4, 3)

Answer 2

why would it be -4?

Answer 3

cause of the domain?

Answer 4

in the equation y= a(x-p)^2 +q, the x value of the vertex is negative. in your equation, the x value is positive (x+4) so we assume that it was x-(-4), making the x value -4.

Answer 5

thank you very much
