ANSWER
Shifts to the right [tex]8[/tex] units.
EXPLANATION
Given the parent function, [tex]y=x^2[/tex].
[tex]y=a(x+b)^2+c[/tex]
When [tex]a[/tex] is positive, the graph opens up.
When [tex]a[/tex] is negative, the graph opens down.
When [tex]b[/tex] is positive, the graph shifts to the left [tex]b[/tex] units.
When [tex]b[/tex] is negative, the graph shifts to the right [tex]b[/tex] units.
When [tex]c[/tex] is positive, the graph shifts up [tex]c[/tex] units.
When [tex]c[/tex] is negative, the graph shifts down [tex]c[/tex] units.
For the given function,
[tex]y=(x-8)^2[/tex], the graph shifts to the right 8 units.
