Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Green line: $f(x)=x^2$ Red line: $g(x)=(x+2)^2-1$ We pick three values of $x$ to determine the applicable values of the function (and to determine the $y$ value for graphing). We pick $x=-2$, $x=0$, and $x=1$. $x=-2$ Green line: $f(x)=x^2$ $f(x)=x^2$ $f(-2)=(-2)^2$ $f(-2)=4$ $x=0$ Green line: $f(x)=x^2$ $f(x)=x^2$ $f(0)=0^2$ $f(0)=0$ $x=1$ Green line: $f(x)=x^2$ $f(x)=x^2$ $f(1)=1^2$ $f(1)=1$ The points $(-2,4)$, $(0,0)$, and $(1,1)$ are on the graph of the green line. $x=-2$ Red line: $g(x)=(x+2)^2-1$ $g(x)=(x+2)^2-1$ $g(-2)=(-2+2)^2-1$ $g(-2)=0^2-1$ $g(-2)=0-1$ $g(-2)=-1$ $x=0$ Red line: $g(x)=(x+2)^2-1$ $g(x)=(x+2)^2-1$ $g(0)=(0+2)^2-1$ $g(0)=2^2-1$ $g(0)=4-1$ $g(0)=3$ $x=1$ Red line: $g(x)=(x+2)^2-1$ $g(x)=(x+2)^2-1$ $g(1)=(1+2)^2-1$ $g(1)=3^2-1$ $g(1)=9-1$ $g(1)=8$ The points $(-2,-1)$, $(0,3)$, and $(1,8)$ are on the graph of the red line.
