When a parabola represented by the equation y−2x2=8x+5is translated 3 units to the left and 2 units up, the new parabola has its vertex at

Solution
First rewrite y−2x2=8x+5 as y=2x2+8x+5
Complete square and determine vertex. y=2(x2+4x+4)−8+5 =2(x+2)2−3 vertex at (−2,−3) If parabola is translated 3 units to the left and 2 units up its vertex is also translated 3 units to the left and 2 units up . vertex after translations is at: (−2−3,−3+2)=(−5,−1).
