How do you describe the translation from the graph y= 2(x-15)^2+3 to the graph of y=2(x-11)^2+3?

The graph is shifted 4 units left

Explanation:

To make the function y=2(x-15)^2+3 the same as y=2(x-11)^2+3, you have to add color(red)4 inside the bracket

2(x-15color(red)(+4))^2+3

This added color(red)4 shifts the graph color(red)4 units left
