Answer 4

Use https://www.desmos.com/calculator to graph it, then observe the differences.

Answer 5

After graphing I have observed:

Parabola y = x^2 is wider and opens upward. It's vertex is at the origin(0, 0).

Parabola y = -2(x + 3)^2 + 1 is thinner than parabola y = x^2 and opens downward. It's vertex is at (-3, 1).

Same! Thank you! @iGreen
