PLEASE HELP ME ASAP?!? (look at the image)
What is the order, from widest to narrowest graph, of the
quadratic functions f(x) = -0.5x2, f(x) = 1/4x2, and f(x) = x2?

f(x) =  > f(x) = -0.5x² > f(x) = x²

Step-by-step explanation:

In a quadratic function leading coefficient decides the width of a graph.

In simpler words, leading coefficient decides the vertical stretch of the graph.

Higher the value of leading coefficient, higher the vertical stretch.

When a graph is vertically stretched it becomes narrower.

(Note: Minus sign of the coefficient decides the opening of the graph, upwards or downwards)

Therefore, f(x) = x² having coefficient = 1 is the narrowest and f(x) = will be the widest.

So the descending order will be,

f(x) =  > f(x) = -0.5x² > f(x) = x²

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
