What happens to the parabola when you multiply its equation by a number bigger than 1?  Eg  y = 3x²

• Graph moves UP
• Graph gets WIDER
• Graph moves DOWN
• Graph gets NARROWER

When you add a constant to y=x²  what happens to the graph? (Eg  y = x² + 2)

• Graph moves UP
• Graph moves to the RIGHT
• Graph moves DOWN
• Graph moves to the LEFT

• Opens down and is narrow

• Shifted down and is wider

• Shifted down and is Narrow

• Opens down and is wider
