Answer

Shif the graph of the parent function $y=x^2$ by $3$ units to the right, then shift the resulting graph $2$ units downward. Refer tp the graph below.

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=(x-3)^2-2$ First we graph the parent function $a(x)=x^2$. Horizontally shift the graph of $a(x)$ by $3$ units to the right to get the graph of $b(x)=(x-3)^2$. Finally, vertically shift the graph of $b(x)$ by $2$ units downward to get the graph of $f(x)=(x-3)^2-2$. Refer to the red graph below.
