Patience.  Volunteers have valuable time.  I am always trying to service about 5 people at a time to maximize my effort.

Okay, so what do you notice?  They both open the same direction.  Is one fatter than the other?

anonymous · Answer

sorry, but i dont know how to graph them sooo i honestly cant tell the difference

tkhunny · Answer

Well, then you can't solve this problem.  Why are you being asked to solve such a problem if you have not been given the tools to solve it?

Smaller coefficients lead to fatter graphs.

i have no idea, but thanks for your time and effort

tkhunny · Answer

There are various tools that can draw the graphs for you.  Even a nook might have that capability.  Can you track down any such tool?  Graphing calculator?  Online resources?

anonymous · Answer

i can try online but im not sure if its actually gonna help

tkhunny · Answer

If you can get them on the same set of coordinate axes, you should see it very easily.
