Answer 1

To transform the function \( f(x) = x^2 \) to \( f(x - 3) + 12 \), we need to consider a two-step process in terms of transformations.

1. **Shift to the right by 3 units**: The expression \( f(x-3) \) means we are replacing \( x \) with \( x - 3 \). This is a horizontal shift to the right by 3 units.

2. **Shift up by 12 units**: The \( +12 \) outside the function indicates a vertical shift upwards by 12 units.

So the correct order of transformations is:
- Shift to the right 3 units
- Shift up 12 units

Thus, the correct response is:

**Shift to the right 3 units and shift up 12 units.**
