Although both graphs curve upward (indicating a positive second derivative), the narrow parabola has a much more rapid increase in slope around $x=4$ compared to the wider parabola. Since the second derivative measures the rate of change of the slope, a faster change in slope results in a larger numerical value.

Conditions: Both graphs are evaluated at the same input $x=4$.; Both graphs are curving upward near $x=4$.
