Question

Which describes the difference between the graph of f(x) = 3x2 + 2 and g(x) = 9x2?

Answer 1

First we must graph both of these equations. We can use a graphing calculator to enter each equation, and note the differences between both. After graphing both of these equations, we find that the answer is B, the graph of f(x) is obtained by shifting g(x) up 2 units and compressing vertically by a factor of 3.
