How is the graph of the parent function y=x² transformed to produce the graph of y=3(x+1)²?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Always the easiest way to study these questions is to get a graph. The one below shows
Red: y = x^2
Blue: y= 3(x + 1)^2
You will notice that (x+1)^2 shifts the graph Left -- the opposite to what you might think.
The 3 is a little harder. It narrows the red mother graph. Which choice says that?
The choice is between b and d. Why. Because the blue graph is to the left of the red one.
You have to learn the meaning of compressed. A better word might be narrows.

So hmm the first term is -2
and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"
so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4
thus
