Answer:

g(x) = x² - 7x + 16

Explanation:

f(x) + n - shift the graph of f(x) n units up

f(x) - n - shift the graph of f(x) n units down

f(x - n) - shift the graph of f(x) n units to the right

f(x + n) - shift the graph of f(x) n units to the left

===================================

f(x) = x² - 4x + 4 shifted 3 units to the right. Therefore g(x) = f(x - 3):

g(x) = (x - 3)² - (x - 3) + 4 use (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

g(x) = x² - 2(x)(3) + 3² - x - (-3) + 4

g(x) = x² - 6x + 9 - x + 3 + 4 combine like terms

g(x) = x² + (-6x - x) + (9 + 3 + 4)

g(x) = x² - 7x + 16
