If the quadratic functions for the equations are graphed, which is the widest? a) y = x^2 b) y = 2x^2 c) y = 6x^2 d) y=1/4 x^2

  D)  y = 1/4 x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For these functions, the leading coefficient can be considered to be either ...

  the vertical scale factor (larger ⇒ narrower)

  the square of the inverse of the horizontal scale factor.

In the latter case, the horizontal scale factor will be larger (wider) when its inverse and the square of its inverse are smaller.

Either way, you're looking for the smallest leading coefficient: 1/4.

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
