These are some Rules for the transformations of a function f(x):

a. If the function is shifted left "h" units, then:


f(x+h)

b. If the function is shifted right "h" units:


f(x-h)

c. If the function is shifted up "h" units:


f(x)+h

d. If it is shifted down "h" units:


f(x)-h

Notice that the red graph is this function:


F(x)=x^2

And both have the same shape, but the blue one is moved to the left 2 units. Therefore the equation of the blue graph is:


G(x)=(x+2)^2

THE ANSWER IS OPTION A.
