Compare the graphs of the function, ) = −2(x + 3)^2 + 2 and ) = 5(x + 3)^2 + 2. what do the graphs have
in common? how are they different?

Similarity: Both functions has same vertex at point .

Difference: is downward opening parabola, while   is an upward opening parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two functions as: and . We are asked to compare the graphs of the given function.

We know that standard form of a parabola with vertex at point (h,k) is in format .

Let us find the similarity in both graphs.

Let us find the difference in both graphs.

We can see that leading coefficient of is positive, so it will be an upward opening parabola.

We can also see that leading coefficient of is negative, so it will be a downward opening parabola.
