Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Identify the vertex input from the binomial.
2. Describe the squared distance from that input.
3. Apply the coefficient's sign and magnitude to explain vertical change.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Interpreting the coefficient as a horizontal shift.
