The vertex form of a function is g of x is equal to open paren x minus 3 close paren squared plus 9 How does the graph of g of x compare to the graph of the function f of x is equal to x squared ?

In vertex form, g(x) = (x − h)² + k shifts the graph of f(x) = x² right by h units and up by k units. Here h = 3 and k = 9, so the graph shifts 3 units right and 9 units up. This matches choice D.
