You are starting with a function f(x) which was translated from standard position according to h%28x%29=x%5E2. The change was something f%28x%29=%28x-c%29%5E2. The value of c for your f(x) was c=-4.

Do you see how this works?

Determine the equation of g(x) that results from translating the function f(x)=(x+4)^2 to the right 6 units.


f%28x%29+=+%28x+%2B+4%29%5E2

With a translation of 6 units to the right, f%28x%29+=+%28x+%2B+4%29%5E2 becomes: g%28x%29+=+%28x+%2B+4+-+6%29%5E2, or highlight_green%28highlight_green%28g%28x%29+=+%28x+-+2%29%5E2%29%29
