Thread: equation for transformed function.

The function h(x) =3(x-3)(x+2)(x-5)
is translated 4 units to the left and 5 units down. Write an equation for the transformed function.

How do I get this function into y = a [ k (x - d) ] ^n + c format?
Or is there another way?

h(x) --> g(x) = h(x + 4) - 5.
