Question

Given the two functions below, tell me what type of graphs they are and

how p(x) differs from g(x)

p(x)=8x^2
g(x) = x^2

Answer 1

Explanation:

p(x) = 8x^2 is an increasing exponential curbed graph which starts from quadrant 2 , passes through the point (0, 8) on the y axis and rises steeply to the right.

g(x) = x^2 is a parabola ( shaped like a U) which has a minimum value at (0, 0).

and opens upwards either side of the y-axis. This type of curve is called a parabola.
