Two quadratic functions with a common vertex at the origin. The blue graph is upward-facing, and the red one is downward-facing. The blue graph is narrower than the red graph (the values along the blue graph grow faster)

Above are pictured two graphs of the form y=ax2y = ax^2. True or False: The red graph has a smaller ∣a∣|a| value than the blue graph.
