Question

Write the equation of a quadratic function for which the graph opens in the same direction as the graph of y = x ^ 2 , is wider than the graph of y = x ^ 2 and is shifted up compared to the graph of y = x ^ 2

Answer 1

(1/8)x^2 +3

Explanation:

in order to widen the quadratic functions you just need to make the coefficient of x^2 less than 1. and to shift the graph upwards you need to add a positive constant at the end like +2.

answer:

(1/8)x^2 +3
