y=3x^2
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x^2+bx+c
\n" ); document.write( "8=c, when x=0.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x^2+8
\n" ); document.write( "The transformation is up 8 units.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3(x-0)^2+8 is the parabola written in vertex form. y=3x^2 becomes congruent with the parabola made by transforming it 8 units upward or positive. That is the answer.
