You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Rotating the graph y=x^2 about the x-axis does not change it. Dropping the graph down 5 units is like subtracting the value of 5 from the x^2, and shifting the graph left 8 units is like adding 8 to the x. The equation is $\"y=%28x%2B8%29%5E2+-5\"$ , and the graph should look like this:
