I think the answer is C, am I correct?

jdoe0001 · Answer

have you covered transformations or shifts yet?

anonymous · Answer

Nope lol.

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

jdoe0001 · Answer

well more or less, yes

anonymous · Answer

Okay.

jdoe0001 · Answer

$ 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}$
