The graph of f(x), shown below, has the same shape as the graph of g(x)=x^4, but it is shifted 3 units to the left. what is its equation?​

The answer is D: f(x)=(x+3)^4 you can tell this from the positive number in the parentheses. Addition shifts to the left, subtraction shifts to right. If it were outside the parentheses it would be shifting up or down based on addition or subtraction. Hope this helps!

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: refer to screen shot, the graph is shifted left by a factor of three so it would go from the original
g(x)= x^4 to
f(x)=(x+3)^4
