In the equation y=a(x-h)^2+k, the "k" translates the parabola in what manner?

k is the vertical shift

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

This gives the parabola in vertex form

(h,k) is the vertex where h is the x coordinate and k is the y coordinate

k is the vertical shift

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
