How do you graph Y=(x+3)^2?

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.
