The function is .
Complete the square.
\The function is a power function.
\The standard form of the power function is .
Graph :
\Graph of the power function :
\
The function is .
Now substitute instead of
in the power function.
.
So .
Horizontal shift : , shift the graph of
a distance
units to the left.
Vertical shift : , shift the graph of
a distance
units downward.
Therefore, is the graph of
shift
units to the left and shift
units downward.

(1) Draw the coordinate plane.
\(2) Graph of the function .
(3) Shift the graph of to a distance of
units to the left and after that shift
units downward.
