Function Graphs

Graphs are visual representations of functions. If you know how to read graphs, you can say a lot about a function just by looking at its graph. Learn this fine art of mathematical divining.

Stretching Graphs

         

Given the graph \( y = 4x^2+9 \), how do we obtain the graph of \[ y = 196x^2 +9?\]
