the graph of the function y= x2 is shown. how much will the graph change if the equation is changed to y= 1/4x^2
a) the parabola will become wider
b) the parabola will become narrow
c) the parabola will move up 1/4 unit
d) will move down 1/4 unit

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:


When we divide the parabola by a number ( greater than one) then it gets wider. Then the correct option is A.

What is the parabola?

It is the locus of a point that moves so that it is always the same distance from a non-movable point and a given line. The non-movable point is called focus and the non-movable line is called the directrix.

The function y= x² is changed to another function that is given as

[tex]\rm y= \dfrac{1}{4}x^2[/tex]

When we divide the function by a number ( greater than one) then it gets wider.

The parabola is shown in the graph.
