Answer: g(x) = (x + 2)^2 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is

F(x) = x^2

If a function, f(x) is shifted c units to the left, the new function becomes f(x + c)

Also, If a function, f(x) is shifted d units upwards, the new function becomes f(x) + d

Looking at the graph, the blue graph was gotten by shifting the red graph 2 units to the left and 1 unit upwards. Thus,

g(x) = (x + 2)^2 + 1
