y=-lx+1l opens up or down? Identify vertex and tell wether wider narrower or same width as y= l xl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

down, if its negative on the outside it opens down, it doesn't matter inside

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right, but it still opens down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1319403782906:dw| vertex: (0,1) same width opens down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES IT DOES its has a vertex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

liamarie u got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong polrek. there is a vertex. absolute value means any x value will go same direction. x isn't being affected (meaning it's not being x'd by anything) so it will have the same width.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the graph opens down, with the vertex at (-1,0). Same common slope as the parent function, as the coefficient in front of the absolute value is -1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^that one's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember, the vertex is just when x=0, so plug 0 in for x and solve. that'll give you the y value and the vertex.

A lot of crazy posts in this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The general equation is \[y=a \left| x-h \right|+k\], where the vertex is (h,k)
