Answer

Final Answer: The formula for $g(x)$ is $\boxed{(x-4)^{2}}$.

Steps

Step 1 ：Let $f(x)=x^{2}$

Step 2 ：If $g(x)$ is the graph of $f(x)$ shifted right 4 units, write a formula for $g(x)$

Step 3 ：The graph of a function $f(x)$ shifted right by $a$ units is given by $f(x-a)$. In this case, $a=4$, so the function $g(x)$ should be $f(x-4)$.

Step 4 ：Final Answer: The formula for $g(x)$ is $\boxed{(x-4)^{2}}$.
