Answer:

Shift 1 unit to the right, i.,e. option (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Both functions can not be represented by f(x) and square is missing in basic function.

The given basic function is

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

The given function is  

[tex]g(x)=(x-1)^2[/tex]

So, the given function can be written in the form of basic form as

[tex]g(x)=f(x-1)[/tex]     ...(1)

The translation is defined as

[tex]g(x)=f(x+a)2+b[/tex]     .... (2)

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

[tex]a=-1,b=0[/tex]

Therefore, graph of f(x) shift 1 unit to the right to get graph of g(x).
