f(x) = 2 (x + 2)^2 + 8
Transformation 1: If we start with y = x^2 and replace x by x + 2, it has the effect of shifting the graph 2 units to the left.
Transformation 2: Then if we multiply the right side by 2, it turns the parabola upside down and gives a vertical expansion by a factor of 2.
Transformation 3: Finally, if we add 8 to the right side, it shifts the graph to 8 units up.
