Question 1030525: Write the equation of a parabola that contains the point (0, 8) that is congruent to the parabola . Describe the series of transformations that would move the given parabola to your parabola Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=3x^2
y=3x^2+bx+c
8=c, when x=0.
y=3x^2+8
The transformation is up 8 units.
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.
