Timothy Kirk · Answer 1

It's g (x) = (x+4) ^2 + 5 (x+4) - 6

I apologize if my answer is incorrect.

Antoine Watkins · Answer 2

The answer is g (x) = x^2 + 13x + 30

You can get this is multiple ways. Firstly, you could factor to find the zeroes and then move the answers to the left and redistribute the parenthesis.

You could also put the equation into vertex form and shift the number inside the parenthesis by 4.

Either will give you the exact same answer.
