If h(x) represents a parabola whose turning point is at (0, -3) and the function f is defined by

f(x) = h(x + 2) - 5, then what are the coordinates of the turning point off? Explain your reasoning. I’m

let's put h(x) in vertex form, and then let's see if we can get f(x) from there.


~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{


h(x+2)=a[(x+2)-0]^2-3\implies h(x+2)=\underline{a(x+2)^2-3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \underline{h(x+2)}-5\implies [a(x+2)^2-3]~~ - ~~5\implies &\boxed{a(x+2)^2-8=f(x)} \\\\ &a[x-\stackrel{h}{(-2)}]^2\stackrel{k}{-8}=f(x)\\\\ &\stackrel{vertex}{-2~~,~~-8} \end{array}
