To apply a horizontal shift to the function $g(x) = -2x^2 + 6x - 8$, you need to adjust the argument of the function by adding or subtracting a value from $x$.

Horizontal Shift to the Left:

If you want to shift the graph of the function to the left by $h$ units, you replace $x$ with $(x + h)$. This transformation shifts the graph to the left by
