Match each equation to how it changes the parent function y=x2 (x2 will be written as x^2) problems: y = 4x^2 and y = x^2 - 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

`y = x^2 - 3` should be easy to figure out by now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first one i thought it was slides down which is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on would it be slides up?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

which problem are we talking about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 4x^2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it `stretches` the parent graph vertically by a factor of 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

narrows?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you may graph both the functions and see what happens : https://www.desmos.com/calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat about the second one : y = x^2 - 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what do you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slides down?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !
