Problem: Consider the graphs of
and
on the same set of axis. These parabolas are exactly the same shape. Then:
Answer Choices:
A. the graphs coincide.
B. the graph of (1) is lower than the graph of (2).
C. the graph of (1) is to the left of the graph of (2).
D. The graph of (1) is to the right of the graph of (2).
E. The graph of (1) is higher than the graph of (2).
Solution:
From the graphs, or from a consideration of the positions of the lowest points, it is found that (D) is the correct answer.
