Transformation

The inner graph is the function y = 6x² and the outer represents function y = x²
By increasing the coefficient we have decreased the distance between the y axis and the sides of the parabola.
This is called  answer
The best way to develop your comprehension of shrinking and stretching functions is to graph them by hand.
