Try several graphs of


 

 


on the same axes. (i.e., use different values of a)

 

 

I have graphed five equations on the following graph.  These include

 


 


a = 1, 2, 3, 4, 10

The larger the value of a, the thinner the parabola.

 


When a is negative, the vertex remains the same and the resulting graph is a reflection over the x-axis.  The five equations graphed below are:


 


a = -1, -2, -3, -4, -10
