So sorry fir it being this late but the answer is B

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: \(y=3x^2+2\)

We need to choose correct graph whose wider than given graph.

For wider, we check the coefficient of x².

For function y=ax²

If a>1 then compressed

If a<1 then wider

We will compare the coefficient of x² for each option.

Option A: \(y=3x^2+2\)

\(3x^2+2\rightarrow 3x^2+2\) Identical graph.

Option B: \(y=0.5x^2+1\)

\(3x^2+2\rightarrow 0.5x^2+1\)

3>0.5, Graph becomes wider than older one.

Option C: \(y=3x^2+2\)

\(3x^2+2\rightarrow 4x^2+1\)

3<4, Graph thinner than original graph.  

Option D: \(y=3x^2+2\)

\(3x^2+2\rightarrow 4x^2+1\)

3<4, Graph is thinner than original graph.

Hence, Option B is correct. (Please see attachment for graph)
