11.4 exit slip Michelle Decosta

The curvature of y2 compared to y1 is neither wider, but it is reflected on the x-axis.

Compared to y1, y2's graph is shifted vertically . We see this in the graph by noting that the equation 3x^2+100 compared to 5x^2-100 makes the equation wider, because the smaller the number is to the second power the wider the line will be.

There is no horizontal shift because the lines have the same pattern horizontally. The minimums line up at x=+-100
