1. which graph represents the equation y = x^2 - 2?
2. which graph represents the equation y = 6x^2?
3. which graph represents the equation y = |x|+2?

1. Graph 3

2. Graph 2

3. Graph 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This equation is a quadratic and has a U shape graph called a parabola. This graph x^2 is normally at (0,0) for its vertex. By subtracting 2, the vertex moves down 2 units to (0,-2). I believe this function should have been -x^2 - 2. The negative in front flips it upside down. This makes it Graph 3.

2. This equation is a quadratic and has a U shape graph called a parabola. This graph is normally x^2 so 6x^2 has been multiplied by 6 which creates much larger values and a skinnier graph. This is graph 2.

3. This is an absolute value function which has a V shape. This is graph 1.
