@camper4834

OpenStudy (camper4834):

so lets ignore A and B

OpenStudy (camper4834):

do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah becuase theyre pointing down ward and they are negative

OpenStudy (camper4834):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its D

OpenStudy (camper4834):

Ahhh they tricked you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah the x is to the second power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my mistake

OpenStudy (camper4834):

you thought that multiplying by .25 would make it "bigger"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it makes it smaller

OpenStudy (camper4834):

being to the second power doesn't change this

OpenStudy (camper4834):

oh sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay then what does

OpenStudy (camper4834):

you thought that multiplying by .25 would make it "smaller"

OpenStudy (camper4834):

im sorry i meant to say this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but can you explain

OpenStudy (camper4834):

but multiplying by .25 makes it BIG AND WIDE

OpenStudy (camper4834):

yes of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

you are thinking of it in the wrong way

OpenStudy (camper4834):

when i multiply by a LARGE NUMBER i make it much TALLER

OpenStudy (camper4834):

see how D goes up REALLY REALLY FAST

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooh so its the height okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that means its taller

OpenStudy (camper4834):

so when i multiply by REALLY REALLY SMALL NUMBER

OpenStudy (camper4834):

it goes up REALLLY SLOWLY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it goes slowly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okaaay I get it

OpenStudy (camper4834):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (camper4834):
