Answer 1

What difference did you notice in the graphs?

Answer 2

they shrink?

Answer 3

Vertically or horizontally?

Answer 4

horizontally?

Answer 5

okay so as the c value increases it shifts the graph to the right

Answer 6

So basically what happens, the c acts as a vertical stretch or compression

Answer 7
