Answer 1

I think the answer is C, am I correct?

Answer 2

have you covered transformations or shifts yet?

Answer 3

Nope lol.

Answer 4

do you know the graph of \(\bf x^2\) ?

Answer 5

Yeah.. It's supposed to look like this, right?

Answer 6

well more or less, yes

Answer 7

Okay.

Answer 8

\( f(x)={\color{red}{x}}^2\qquad f(x+4)\implies
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{vertical shift upwards by that many units}\\
\qquad \downarrow \\
({\color{red}{ x{\large+4}}})^2
\end{array}\)
