How does the value of a in the function affect its graph when compared to the graph of the quadratic parent function?g(x) = - 16x2A.) The graph of g(x) is widerB.) The graph of g(x) is narrowerC.) The graph of g(x) opens upwardD.) The graph of g(x) opens downwardCheck all that apply.

Given the function:


g(x)=-16x^2

if we consider first the constant 16, we have that the graph will stretch in the y-axis direction, and since it has a negative sign, the graph of g(X) will open downwa
