The top left parabola is an upward facing parabola so it is in the form ax^2 The vertex is at (0,0)

It must be y = 5x^2

The parabola on the top right is shifted up by 5 units

A shift is ax^2 + k where k is the shift

y = ax^2 +5

Since it is an upwards facing parabola a must be positive

The only choice is

y = x^2 +5

The bottom left graph is an absolute value since it makes a v. Since it is pointing down, it is in the form

y = -a|x| since it is centered at (0,0)

The only equation of this form is

y = -3|x|

The bottom right graph is an absolute value since it makes a v. Since it is pointing up, it is of the form y = a|x|. It is shifted up 3 units since it is centered at x=0

y = a|x| +3

The only answer of this form is

y = |x| +3
