Which of the quadratic functions has the narrowest graph? y = 2x^2
y = –x^2
y = 1/8x^2
y = 1/6x^2

A quadratic function's graph being wide or narrow is determined or depended on a-term:

If |a| has a lot of value, for example a = 2 or a = 100. The graph will get narrower if increasing the value of |a|. On the other hand, If |a| has small value, for example a = 1/2 or a = 1/10000. The graph would be wide.

Also it does not matter if a-term is negative or not since a-term being positive or negative determines if a parabola is upward or downward. Only |a| determines how narrow/wide the graph is.

From the question, it is clear that the parabola y = 2x^2 is the narrowest graph since it has the highest |a| value out of all choices.

Answer

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
