Answer 2

graph g(x)=1/4 x^2 - 2

Explanation:

You are to replace x with (1/2x) in the expression x^2-2

So you have (1/2x)^2-2

1/4 x^2-2

Graph some points for g(x)=1/4 x^2-2

The vertex is (0,-2) and the parabola is open up.

I would graph 2 more points besides the vertex

x | g(x) ordered pairs to graph

----------- (-1,-1.75) and (0,-2) and (1,-1.75)

-1 -1.75

0 -2

1 -1.75
