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

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
