Suppose that the x-intercepts of the graph of y= f(x) are 3 and 5.
What are the x-intercepts of the graph of y= f(x+8)?
From f(x) to f(x + 8), the ENTIRE parabola will be SHIFTED 8 units to the LEFT, so roots (3 and 5), or x-intercepts (3, 0) and (5, 0) are SHIFTED HORIZONTALLY,
8 units to the left thus making the new roots, (3 - 8), or - 5, and (5 - 8), or - 3. The points can also be written as: (- 5, 0) and (- 3, 0).

============
It's not specified that the function is a parabola, or that it's a 2nd order function.
