Answer:
Explanation:
The negative out front only tells us which way the parabola will open. That means that the first one will open upside down, since it's got a negative out front. The value of the number that serves as the leading coefficient (the number stuck to the x-squared) determines how steep or wide-open the parabola's shape is. The leading coefficient in the first one is a 1, so it opens up exactly as wide as its parent graph does. The leading coefficient in the second one, a 2, means that the parabola will be skinnier or narrower than its parent. If the leading coefficient is greater than 1, the parabola will be narrower than its parent; if the leading coefficient is greater than 0 but less than 1, the parabola will open wider than its parent.
