Question

The parabola y=x^2 is scaled vertically by a factor of 5/2. What is the equation of the new parabola?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=5/2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have the following transformation:
 Assume k> 0
 To graph f (x) + k, move the graph k units up.
 Applying the transformation we have:
 y = x ^ 2 + 5/2
 Answer:
 The equation of the new parabola is:
 y = x ^ 2 + 5/2
