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

y=5/2x^2

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
