the graph has the same shape as the graph of G(x)=x^4,but it is shifted three units to the right. Complete its equation. Enter exponents using the caret. Do not include G(x)= in your answer

You need to remember the following Transformations rules for functions:

1. If


f(x-h)

Then the function is shifted rigth "h" units.

2. If


f(x+h)

Then the function is shifted left "h" units.

In this case, you have the following function:


G\mleft(x\mright)=x^4

Since the new graph is obtained by shifting it three units to the right, you can determine that the new equation is:


G(x)=(x-3)^4

The answer is:


G(x)=(x-3)^4
