The first one should look like this: graph{-2(x+2)^2+6 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
The second one should look like this: graph{1/2(x)^2-6x+13 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Explanation:

Our method for graph the parabola will be like this:
We find the values of a, h, and k.
Then, we graph the other four points by doing the following:
We will do h-2a, h-a, h+a, and h+2a for the x values and plug them in the equation to find the y values.
The minimum/maximum point of a parabola is (h,k)

2(x+2)2+6:

This equation is in the form a(xh)2+k

Therefore,
a=2
h=2
k=6

The x values are:
22(2)=2
2(2)=0
2
2+(2)=4
2+2(2)=6

Plug in the values in the equation to get the following y values.
22(2)=2 =>-28
2(2)=0 =>-2
2 =>6
2+(2)=4 =>-2
2+2(2)=6 =>-28

Plot the points an you have the answer!

12(x)26x+13:

This equation is in the form ax2+bx+c
We have to know that h=b2a
Plug in this value to the equation to get k.
Therefore,
a=12
h=6
k=5

The x values are:
62(12)=5
612=512
6
6+12=612
6+2(12)=7

Plug in the values in the equation to get the following y values.
62(12)=5 =>-4.5
612=512 =>-4.875
6 =>-5
6+12=612=>-4.875
6+2(12)=7=>-4.5

Plot the points an you have the answer!
