Answer

Shift by 3 units to the left Vertically shift by a factor of 2

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $g(x)=2(x+3)^2$ We start with the parent function $p(x)=x^2$. First shift $p(x)$ by 3 units to the left to get the function $h(x)=(x+3)^2$. Then vertically scale the function $h(x)$ by a factor of 2 to get the function $g(x)=2(x+3)^2$. Graph all transformations:
