Answer:
P' = (4, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
T(x, y) is a function of x and y. Put the x- and y-values of point P into the translation formula and do the arithmetic.
P' = T(8, -3) = (8 -4, -3 +7) = (4, 4)

<em>Comment on notation</em>
The notation can be a little confusing, as the same form is used to mean different things. Here, P(8, -3) means <em>point P</em> has coordinates x=8, y=-3. The same form is used to define the translation function:
T(x, y) = (x -4, y+7)
In this case, T(x, y) is not point T, but is <em>a function named T</em> (for "translation function") that takes arguments x and y and gives a coordinate pair as a result.
Vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k, so we can rearrange to that form...
y=3x^2-6x+2 subtract 2 from both sides
y-2=3x^2-6x divide both sides by 3
(y-2)/3=x^2-2x, halve the linear coefficient, square it, add it to both sides...in this case: (-2/2)^2=1 so
(y-2)/3+1=x^2-2x+1 now the right side is a perfect square
(y-2+3)/3=(x-1)^2
(y+1)/3=(x-1)^2 multiply both sides by 3
y+1=3(x-1)^2 subtract 1 from both sides
y=3(x-1)^2-1 so the vertex is:
(1, -1)
...
Now if you'd like you can commit to memory the vertex point for any parabola so you don't have to do the calculations like what we did above. The vertex of any quadratic (parabola), ax^2+bx+c is:
x= -b/(2a), y= (4ac-b^2)/(4a)
Then you will always be able to do a quick calculation of the vertex :)
