    This lesson bring together adding or subtracting inside and outside of parentheses as well as have a negative sign in front of a quadratic equation. All steps involved in analyzing graphing the equations are explained. You can take your knowledge of what the graph y = x^2 looks like and apply the transformation that the equations suggest.
