**Title: Understanding Function Transformations**

**Objective:** Use transformations of \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} \) to identify the graph of \( g(x) = \frac{1}{(x + 6)^2} \).

**Question:** Select the correct graph.

**Options:**

- **A.** 
  - Graph depicts the function with a sharp peak centered at \( x = -6 \). The graph appears symmetric around this vertical line, demonstrating a horizontal shift of the basic function.

- **B.**
  - Incorrect positioning, the peak is not at \( x = -6 \).

- **C.**
  - Similar to other options but does not illustrate the correct horizontal shift needed.

- **D.**
  - Shows incorrect placement for the transformation scenario.

**Solution:** Option **A** correctly shows the graph of \( g(x) = \frac{1}{(x + 6)^2} \), which is a horizontal shift 6 units to the left from \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} \).

**Visual Explanation:** Each graph shows a function with a vertical asymptote at a specific x-value. Option A correctly demonstrates a horizontal shift with the vertex translated to \( x = -6 \).

---

**Conclusion:** Understanding the effects of transformations, such as horizontal shifts, on function graphs is crucial in visualizing mathematical concepts.
