Which value represents the horizontal translation from the graph of the parent function f (x) = x^2 to the graph of the function g (x) = (x-4) ^2+2?

Translation by h (right) and k (up)

g (x) = f (x-h) + k

=f (x-4) ^2+2

so h=4, k=2

horizontal translation (to the right) is h=+4, but is shown as - 4 for the translation value.
