Continue graphing f(x) = (x + 4)^2 by following these steps: | Steps: Step 1: Calculate the value of the function at the x-coordinate one unit to the left of the vertex. | Step 1: | Step 2: Plot the two points with x-coordinates one unit to the left and right of the vertex. | Step 2: | Step 3: Calculate the value of the function at the x-coordinate two units to the left of the vertex. | Step 3: | Step 4: Plot the two points with x-coordinates two units to the left and right of the vertex. | Step 4: | [(−3) =]
The expression shown asks for f(−3). Substitute −3 into f(x) = (x + 4)²: f(−3) = (−3 + 4)² = 1² = 1. So the function value is 1, choice A.
