To do a vertical shift by 12, you are shifting the parent function f(x)=x2 vertically upwards by 12 units. This is accomplished by adding 12 to the end of the function:

x2+12

Then, in order to reflect this along the x axis you must negate the outside part of the parent function. This gives the final rule:

g(x)=x2+12

The graph looks like this:

graph{-x^2+1/2[-2,2,-2,1]}
