Answer 1

To transform the function \( f(x) = x^2 \) to \( f(x - 3) + 12 \), we can break this down into two steps:

1. Horizontal Shift: Change \( x^2 \) to \( f(x - 3) \). This represents a shift to the right by 3 units.

2. Vertical Shift: Then, taking \( f(x - 3) \) and transforming it to \( f(x - 3) + 12 \) means shifting the graph up by 12 units.

Therefore, the complete transformation consists of first shifting to the right 3 units, and then shifting up 12 units.

The correct response is: Shift to the right 3 units and shift up 12 units.
