Describe two methods that can be used to find the area of the composite figure.

Sample Response:

Find the area of the larger rectangle, then subtract the area of the two smaller rectangles in the corners. Separate the figure into two or three rectangles, and add the areas.

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2 -1 

translation is a function transformation that transform the function in a way of translating. by translating the function its graph is moved  up an down. moving the function f(x) 2 units to the left will be the new function g(x) with the equation: g(x)=f(x+2)=2(x+2)^2 -1
