To transform the function \( f(x) = x^2 + 12 \) to \( f(x - 3) \), you should follow these steps in order:
1. Replace \( x \) in the original function \( f(x) \) with \( (x - 3) \).
2. Calculate the value of \( (x - 3)^2 \).
3. Add 12 to the result from step 2.
So the operation sequence can be summarized as:
1. Substitute \( x \) with \( (x - 3) \):
\( f(x - 3) = (x - 3)^2 + 12 \)
2. Compute \( (x - 3)^2 \).
3. Add 12 to the result.
This will give you the transformed function \( f(x - 3) \).
