Derive the formula for shift in moment of inertia.

In summary, the moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion. It is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by the square of its distance from the axis of rotation. The formula for the shift in moment of inertia involves taking the original moment of inertia and adding the product of the mass and the square of the distance the object has moved from its original axis of rotation. This formula is important in understanding how an object's moment of inertia changes when its axis of rotation is shifted, allowing for more accurate calculations in rotational motion.

Please help me derive the formula for shift in moment of inertia of an accelerating body.
And also when the vertical component is absent.
I shall be ever grateful.
