Answer:
4 units right
Step-by-step explanation:
The question of shifts or other transformations can be more easily answered when the transformed function is written in vertex form.
g(x) = (x -4)²
Compared to f(x) = x², this is g(x) = f(x-4). That change corresponds to a right-shift of 4 units.
f(x) should be shifted right 4 to match g(x)
_____
Additional comment
The square of a binomial is (a -b)² = a² -2ab +b². The form of G(x) can be seen to match this form, so we know G(x) can be written as the square shown above.
