- Drag the steps for drawing a graph of the function f(x) = 2(x+4)2 - 3 to
arrange them in the correct order. It might help you to draw the graph as
you arrange the steps.
Plot the vertex (-4,-3).
Draw the axis of symmetry x=-4.
Reflect the points over the axis of symmetry and plot (-5, -1), (-6,5), and (-7,15).
Apply the 2x? pattern, from the vertex go right 1 up 2 and plot (-3,-1).
Apply the 2x² pattern again, from the vertex go right 2 up 8 and plot (-2,5).
Apply the 2x² pattern a 3rd time, from the vertex go right 3 up 18 and plot (-1,15)
Draw a U shaped parabola
