Question

Write the transformations given the following quadratic equations 

**Mathematical Expression**

In this segment, we explore a particular quadratic function, often expressed in vertex form. 

**Equation:**

\[ 
c. \quad y = \frac{1}{2}(x-5)^2 + 8 
\]

**Explanation:**

This equation is presented in vertex form, \( y = a(x-h)^2 + k \), where:
- \( a = \frac{1}{2} \), indicating the parabola's vertical stretch/compression and direction (opening upwards since \( a > 0 \)).
- \( h = 5 \), which shifts the parabola horizontally right by 5 units.
- \( k = 8 \), which moves the parabola vertically up by 8 units.

The vertex of this parabola is located at the point (5, 8).

Graphs or diagrams illustrating this function would typically show a parabola with its vertex at \( (5, 8) \), opening upwards, and appearing wider than a standard parabola due to the factor of \( \frac{1}{2} \).
