Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Always the easiest way to study these questions is to get a graph. The one below shows

Red: y = x^2

Blue: y= 3(x + 1)^2

You will notice that (x+1)^2 shifts the graph Left -- the opposite to what you might think.

The 3 is a little harder. It narrows the red mother graph. Which choice says that?

The choice is between b and d. Why. Because the blue graph is to the left of the red one.
