You move right by replacing x with x-2. You move up 2 by adding 2 to the function value. Thus,
f(x) = (x-2)2 + 2 = x2 -4x + 4 + 2 = x2 -4x + 6

Eric,
Assuming it actually shifts right 3 and up 2 as in your Comment,
x → x - 3
f(x) → f(x) + 2
Combine these 2 shifts and get
x2 → (x - 3)2 + 2
The shifted function is
g(x) = (x - 3)2 + 2 = (x2 - 6x + 9) + 2 = x2 - 6x + 11
g(x) = x2 - 6x + 11
For the question as worded in your Comment, this is the correct shifted function.

Hard to describe without seeing the graph, but It was 3 right and 2 up from 0 at f(x) buuut, it opens down, so I needed a negative in front of my original formula. I had to send a pic to someone. Thanks for the reply though!06/20/20

Why do you say it opens down? If the coefficient of the x^2 term is positive, the parabola opens up. For f(x)=x^2 translated right 3 and up 2, the new g(x)=(x-3)^2+2. Was the question uploaded correctly?06/20/20

Actually it shifts right 3 and up 2. I came up with g(x)= x(squared)-6x+11. But it says it’s wrong06/20/20
