Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could check my assessment for me. All of the answers are logged in, I just need someone to check them and tell me if they're right or wrong.
welcome
2 is false.
1 is correct :D
I'm guessing there's an option D for assignment 2?
Yes, that's in the assessment 2 (continued) attachment
D is the correct ans for 2
Thomas is right :D
Notice how you get g(x)=0 for x=-3
Wait, I'm confused, how do I get the answer for number 2?
@thomas9, I think you would like to explain a bit more in order to help. I'll leave it to you as you find this mistake :D
Ok, first off: |x+3| is always positive, so it's not B or C, right?
Right
From the graph in A you can see that g(x)=0 for x=3, but |3+3|=6 =/= 0, So it's not A either.
Which leaves D, furthermore from D we find g(x)=0 for x=-3, which is true: |-3+3|=0.
(g(x) is y in this case)
Don't we want a positive number and not 0?
0 is positive in my opinion, |x+3| is not negative if you like that better.
So is it clear?
Well yea, but how is the answer A not negative? They both have arrows going into the negative quarter
The vertical axis denotes |x+3|, if |x+3| were negative it would be in the lower half of the graph. With option A it just goes in the left half which means x becomes negative, but not |x+3|.
