Problem 1)

The narrowest graph happens when the leading coefficient is furthest from 0. In this case, that happens to be 4 which is the coefficient in choice B.

See the attached image "figure1" for the graph. The functions are color coded

y = -x^2 is in red

y = 4x^2 is in blue

y = (1/4)x^2 is in green (note: 1/4 = 0.25; so y = (1/4)x^2 is the same as y = 0.25x^2)

y = (1/9)x^2 is in purple (note: 1/9 = 0.11 approximately; so y = (1/9)x^2 is roughly the same as y = 0.11x^2)

As you can see in figure1, the blue graph corresponding to y = 4x^2 is the most narrowest.

Problem 2)

See figure2 for the graph. The image is also attached along with figure1.

Figure2 shows a parabola that opens upward and the lowest point is at (0,2) which is the vertex. This point is shown in red as point A.

y = x^2+2 is the same as y = 1(x-0)^2 + 2. That second equation is in the form y = a(x-h)^2 + k where a = 1, h = 0, k = 2

So the vertex is (h,k) = (0,2). The fact that 'a' is positive (a = 1) indicates that the parabola opens upward and this implies the vertex is the lowest point.

Therefore the vertex (0,2) is the minimum

Problem 3)

You have the correct answer here. Nice work.
