I will assume the given function is supposed to be (x+8)^2, or %28x%2B8%29%5E2.

Given ANY function, translating it 10 units to the right replaces "x" with "x-10".

So f%28x%29+=+%28x%2B8%29%5E2 translated 10 units to the right is f%28x%29+=+%28%28x-10%29%2B8%29%5E2+=+%28x-2%29%5E2

So answer choice A.
