Answer:
[tex]g(x) = ( { x + 1})^{2} - 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function is
[tex]f(x) = {x}^{2} [/tex]
A transformation that involves a downward shift h units and a shift to the left k units is of the form:
[tex]f(x + k) - h[/tex]
If the function is shifted two units down and and one unit to the left, then
[tex]g(x) = ( { x + 1})^{2} - 2[/tex]
Therefore the third choice is correct.
