Answer:

I(x)=P(x-4)

Explanation:

The graph of I(x) is obtained by translating P(x) 4 units to the right.

If a function f(x) is translated by k units to the right, the transformation rule is:


f(x)\to f(x-k)

Therefore, the function that correctly describes the transformation is:


I(x)=P(x-4)

Option 4 is correct.
