Question 254213
Explain how you know if the graph of a quadratic is wider or narrower than the standard quadratic, y=x^2.
<pre>


Look at the absolute value of the coefficient of {{{x^2}}}.

If it is greater than 1, the graph is narrower than {{{y=x^2}}}
If it is 1, the graph is the same width as {{{y=x^2}}}
If it is less than 1, the graph is wider than {{{y=x^2}}}
