Question

Which is the graph y = (x + 2) ^ 2 - 3?​

Answer 1

Hey there!

y = (x + 2)^2 - 3?​

y = (x + 2)(x + 2) - 3

DISTRIBUTE

y = x(x) + x(2) + 2(x) + 2(2) - 3

y = x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 - 3

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

y = x^2 + 4x - 1

Therefore, your answer should be:

y = x^2 + 4x - 1 (the Graph is down below)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
