To transform the function \( f(x) = x^2 \) into \( f(x - 3) + 12 \), you can follow these steps:

  1. Horizontal Shift: The transformation \( f(x - 3) \) means you shift the graph of \( f(x) \) to the right by 3 units.

  2. Vertical Shift: The \( +12 \) indicates that you then shift the entire graph up by 12 units.

Putting these transformations together, the correct order to transform \( f(x) = x^2 \) to \( f(x - 3) + 12 \) is:

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

So the correct response is:

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