The vertex of the resulting parabola is (-5, 8).

Answer:

[tex]V(-5,8)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]y=x^{2}[/tex]

Notice that this is a parent function, that is, the simplest form of a quadratic function.

The transformations are:

  1. 5 units to the left.
  2. 8 units up.

Notice that this are rigid transformations, specifically, they are translations only.

Remeber, to move a function to the left, we must sum units to the x-variable. To move a function upwards, we must sum units to the y-variable.

Therefore, the transformed function is

[tex]y=(x+5)^{2} +8[/tex]

Notice that the equation has the form [tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k[/tex].

Where [tex]a=1[/tex], [tex]h=-5[/tex] and [tex]k=8[/tex].

Additionally, an important property of quadratic function is the vertex of the parabola which represents the function, which is at [tex]V(h,k).[/tex]

Therefore, in this case, the vertex is at [tex]V(-5,8)[/tex]
