Describing the relationship between graph of y=x^2 and the graph of y=2(x-3)^2

Presumably you have been taught about transformations of graphs. What were you told about it?

If you need to figure it out from scratch, take it in two steps:

What does it do to the graph of y = x^2 if you replace x with x-3?

Then, what happens to the graph of y = (x-3)^2 if you multiply the function by 2?

Let me know your thinking, and we can discuss it. If you want to see a lesson on this topic, see here:
