Answer:
To graph y=(x-2)^2+4
The vertex form of the parabola is y = (x-h)^2 + k
Where (h,k) are the vertex
So, the vertex of the given parabola = (2,4)
substitute with values for x and find the corresponding y
And another way the parent equation of the given parabola is x^2
By translating the graph of x^2 two units right and four units up we will get the given function
See the attached figure which represents the graph of y=(x-2)^2+4
