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

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
