If the graph of the following parabola is shifted one unit left and two units up, what is the resulting equation in vertex form? x2 = 12y O A 6 - 2) = 12[y+1) O B. (x+2) = 12[y-1) O c. (x+1)=12(y-2) OD 6-1) =12(y+2)

Starting from


x^2=12y

Displacing the graph 1 unit to the left, we'll have:


\begin{gathered} x^2=12y \\ \rightarrow(x+1)^2=12y \end{gathered}

Displacing the graph 2 units up, we'll have:


\begin{gathered} (x+1)^2=12y \\ \rightarrow(x+1)^2=12(y-2) \end{gathered}

Thereby, the correct answer is: Option C
