Which of the quadratic functions has the narrowest graph?
1 answer:
A quadratic function's graph being wide or narrow is determined or depended on a-term:
If |a| has a lot of value, for example a = 2 or a = 100. The graph will get narrower if increasing the value of |a|. On the other hand, If |a| has small value, for example a = 1/2 or a = 1/10000. The graph would be wide.
Also it does not matter if a-term is negative or not since a-term being positive or negative determines if a parabola is upward or downward. Only |a| determines how narrow/wide the graph is.
From the question, it is clear that the parabola y = 2x^2 is the narrowest graph since it has the highest |a| value out of all choices.
Answer
- y = 2x^2

<em>The coordinates of E are (6,-1)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Partition of a Segment</u>
The length of segment directed from A(xa,ya) to B(xb,yb) can be decomposed in its x,y coordinates:
If a point E is to be in the segment and partition it into a ratio 1:2, then
\displaystyle \frac{x_{AE}}{{x_{EB}}=\frac{y_{AE}}{{y_{EB}}=\frac{1}{2}
But
Then we set the equation:
