Both quadratic functions have a coefficient of -2 in front of the x^2 term, which means they both open downwards.
However, the second function, Y = -2X^2 + 4, has a vertical shift of 4 units upwards compared to the first function, Y = -2X^2. This means the second function's graph will be shifted upwards compared to the first function's graph.
Overall, both functions have the same shape - a parabola that opens downwards. The second function's graph will be shifted 4 units upwards compared to the first function's graph.
graph the quadratic functions Y equals negative 2X to the power of two and Y equals negative 2X to the power of 2+4
compare and contrast shape and position of the graph
