Answer:
The graph of [tex]y=\frac{1}{4} x^{2}[/tex] is wider than the graph y = x² (first answer)
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ y = ax² is a quadratic function
∴ If a > 1 , the graph is stretched by a factor a parallel to the y-axis and the graph become narrower than the first graph
∴ If 0< a <1, the graph is compressed by a factor a parallel to the y-axis and the graph become wider than the first graph
∵ 0< [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] < 1
∴ The answer is the first one the graph of [tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x^{2}[/tex] is wider than the graph of y = x²
