right 3 units
down 3 units
up 3 units

Answer:

Option B is correct

right 3 units

Explanation:

Horizontal shift:

To translate the parent function [tex]y = f(x)[/tex] horizontal, then new graph become:

[tex]y = f(x+h)[/tex]

When h >0, then the graph is h units left

When h <0, then the graph is h units right

As per the statement:

Given the parent function:

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

then the new graph:

[tex]f(x) = (x-3)^2[/tex]

by definition of horizontal shift:

h =  -3 < 0

⇒ the resultant graph is 3 units right

Therefore,the translation of the graph of [tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]  that results in the graph of [tex]f(x) = (x-3)^2[/tex] is, right 3 units

Answer: I just put this in so this guy could get brainly.

ps: Thanks man you really helped me out on my test.
