Question 880204: Determine the equation of g(x) that results from translating the function f(x) = (x + 8)^2 to the right 12 units.
1. g(x) = (x + 8)^2 + 12
2. g(x) = (x + 8)^2 - 12
3. g(x) = (x + 20)^2
4. g(x) = (x - 4)^2
I say the answer is 4. g(x) = (x - 4)^2
Is this correct?

To the right 12 units, %28x%2B8-12%29%5E2;
g%28x%29=%28x-4%29%5E2.
