translation math question help

Question

Determine the equation of g(x) that results from translating the function f(x) = (x + 8)2 to the right 9 units.

 

would it be g(x) = (x - 1)^2 because 8-9=1 ?

Answer 1

That is correct. You move the parabolas to the right by subtracting what's inside the parentheses, and to the left by adding.

Only thing to note is 8 - 9 = -1, not 1.
