How does the value of a affect the graph of the monomial function y=ax^n?
as al increases, the graph widens, as al decreases, the graph narrows.
as al increases, the graph narrows, as al decreases, the graph widens.
as al increases, the graph translates to the right; as a decreases, the graph translates to the left
as al increases, the graph translates up; as a decreases, the graph translates down.
