It's just #y=x^2# moved three times to the left

Explanation:

Any number thats subtracted or added in a parenthesis with #x# changes the way the graph is
If you have #y=(x+3)^2# the graph is going to get moved three times to the left and if it's #y=(x-3)^2# the graph is going to get moved three times to the right.
As for graphing just pick a #x# value like #3# and plug it in
#y=((3)+3)^2# or #y=36#
You know the graph is going to start at (-3,0) as I explained above so just keep picking #x# values to get a more accurate graph.
