Answer

$y=(x+3)^2-4$

Work Step by Step

We know that, "the graph $y=f(x)$ shifted left $h$ units is $y=f(x+h)$ and the graph $y=f(x)$ shifted down $k$ units is $y=f(x)-k$". Here we have $f(x)=x^2$ Since the graph of $f(x)=x^2$ is shifted $3$ units left, then the resulting function is $g(x)=(x+3)^2$. The new function is then shifted down $4$ units is the resulting function is $h(x)=(x+3)^2-4$. Therefore, the answer us $y=(x+3)^2-4$.
