The standard function f(x)=x^2 is transformed by inverting it and shifting it up by 12.
Y = f(x) = 12 - x^2
Not too easy to graph with only text!

No, it will shift to the right by 8. Just plug in x = 8 to see that the result will be zero. The only place the original function is zero is where the Y axis meets the X axis. So this is the same curve but shifted to the right.
