y=0.5x2 X IY V y = x2 The graphs have the same vertex and the same axis of symmetry. The graph of y=0.5x2 is narrower than the graph of y = x2

Let's start.

Since the function y=0.5x^2 has a lesser quadratic coefficient (0.5) than y=x^2 (1). That means that the function has to be wider than y=x^2.
