Answer:
g(x) = x² + 5x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If a function is f(x) = x²
And this function is shifted 4 units left then the rule to be followed is,
g(x) = f(x + 4)
Following the same rule,
For a function f(x) = x² - 3x - 2 when shifted 4 units to the left,
g(x) = f(x + 4)
g(x) = (x + 4)² - 3(x + 4) - 2
= x² + 8x + 16 - 3x - 12 - 2
= x² + 5x + 2
Therefore, g(x) = x² + 5x + 2 will be the transformed function.
