\n" );
document.write( "where(h,k) is the vertex  and  x = h  is the Line of Symmetry
\n" );
document.write( "You are comparing YOur Equations to this vertex Form for a Parabola

document.write( "a. Will either graph be narrower? no, (coefficient of the squared term the same
\n" );
document.write( " b. What is the position of the vertex for each graph V(0,0) and V(0,-6)
\n" );
document.write( " c. Will either graph open downward? NO, coefficient of the squared term > 0
\n" );
document.write( " d. What is the range for each graph?  y ≥  0  and y ≥  -6
\n" );
