Answer

Shift by one unit to the right, two units up

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=x^2-2x+3$ Rewrite the function by completing the square: $f(x)=x^2-2x+1-1+3$ $f(x)=(x-1)^2+2$ We start with the parent function $p(x)=x^2$. First shift $p(x)$ by one unit to the right to get the function $g(x)=(x-1)^2$. Then shift the function $g(x)$ 2 units up to get the function $f(x)=(x-1)^2+2$. Graph all transformations:
