Question

The graph of y = x2 is shown below.

If graphed on the same grid, which of the following could be the graph of y = 0.4x2?

Answer 1

The answer is in the attachment.

Explanation:

Coefficient in front of x^2 is 0.4. What that means is that for same increase of x now we will have less increse of y. If you picture that we can also say that graph would be wider. The graph will stay on positive side of y axis because x^2 is always positive and 0.4 times that is again always positive.

The answer is third graph (middle one)

Answer 2
