3) y=-10x^2

The quicker the graph moves up (or down in this case), the more narrow it will be. + and - values of x^2 only tell you whether it's a positive quadratic (U-shape) or a negative one (umbrella). So the larger the

| coefficient | of x^2 then the more narrow it will be, and likewise the smaller it is such as a fraction, the wider it will become
