Which of the following functions shows the quadratic parent function, f(x)= x^2, shifted left?
a. g(x)= x^2+18
b. g(x)= (x-3)^2
c. g(x)= (x+8)^2
d. g(x)= x^2-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function:

Rule : f(x)→f(x+b)

The graph shifts left by b units

So,  

Now shifting this graph left by b units .

So, the shifted graph is   --A

On comparing all the given options with A

We can say that Option C is correct.

The parent graph shifted left by 8 units.

Thus   hows the quadratic parent function, shifted left
