Treat this as you would the quadratic equation x^2 - 4x - 3 + 0. Solve this by completing the square:
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 - 7 = 0
(x^2 - 4x + 4) = 11
(x-2)^2 = 11, and so x-2 = plus or minus sqrt(11).
Graph this, using a dashed curve (not a solid curve). Then shade the coordinate plane ABOVE the graph.
...whars the figure??? You did give us dimensions but not the figure..
There are 4 terms.
The second term and the fourth term have negative coefficients.
Terms are only negative depending on the value of the variables.
Answer:
- Parent Function:

- Horizontal shift: right 3 units
- Vertical shift: up 3 units
- Reflection about the x-axis: none
- Vertical strech: streched
Step-by-step explanation:
assume that
is
and
is

The transformation from the first equation to the second equation can be found by finding a,h and k for each equation.

factor a 1 out of the absolute value to make the coefficient of x equal to 1

factor a 2 out of the absolute value to make the coefficient of x equal to 1

find a, h and k for 

the horizontal shift depends on the value of h when
, the horizontal shift is described as:
- the graph is shifted to the left h units
- the graph is shifted to the right h units
the vertical shift depends on the value of k
