Question

The graph of y = –0.2x2 is _____ the graph of y = x2.

Answer 1

To solve this completion exercise you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the first function:

 y=-0.2x²

 When you give different values to "x" and plot it as it is shown in the graph attached, you obtain a parabola.

 2. Now, you have the second function:

 y=x²

 When you give different values to "x" and plot it as it is shown in the graph attached, you obtain a parabola.

 3. When you see the two graphs attached, you can conclude the the answer is the option D):

 D. Wider than and opens in the opposite direction
   

Answer 2

 D                                                                                                                                   wider than and opens in the opposite direction
