How is the graph of $h (x) = - x^{2} + 8$ $h(x)=-x^2+8$ related to the graph of $f (x) = x^{2}$ $f(x)=x^2$ ?

The graph has been reflected over the x-axis and translated 8 units up on the y-axis.

graph{x^2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
graph{-x^2 + 8 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

This observation in the answer can be made based on the two graphs above.
