Question

F(x) = x2 + 5x - 1 is shifted 3 units left. The result is g(x). What is g(x)?

Answer 1

g(x) = (x + 3)^2 + 5(x + 3) - 1

Explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: f(x) = x^2 + 5x - 1.

Shifting the graph of this function 3 units left results in

g(x) = (x + 3)^2 + 5(x + 3) - 1
