Answer 4

i'm having trouble still with this particular computer opening attachments.. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't ... sorry...:(

Answer 5

@sammy90210 have you ever used Geogebra?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

http://geogebra.org/cms/en/installers

When you get it installed I'll show you how it makes solving problems like these super-duper easy. :)

Answer 8

ok thanks! :)

Answer 9

what about http://www.wolframalpha.com/ would that do it?

Answer 10

@mathteacher1729 i have geogebra installed

Answer 11

@mathteacher1729 you there????

Answer 12

Yes, I'm here.
I'm almost done setting it up.

Answer 13

oh ok :)

Answer 14

Ok all done.

Download this file to your desktop, then open it in Geogebra.

Click the words "linear" or "Absolute value & Sqrt" then drag the little sliders on the right.

It will cause each type of function to move around. :)

Lemmie know if you have any questions.

Answer 15

i dont understand what its doing??

Answer 16

this is what it looks like for me @mathteacher1729

Answer 17

Yup, it opened!

so see the thing on the right that says "slope" and "y-intercept"? Drag the little point along the line to change those values. The graph will change as you do so.

Answer 18

so i keep moving them until the graph looks like one of my examples in the question?

Answer 19

Well you have to know what the translations are called.

What slope makes the line perfectly horizontal? (left and right like this ___________ )

Answer 20

straight line
?

Answer 21

A linear function is always a straight line.
Sometimes it is sloping upward /
sometimes it is sloping downard \
sometimes it is vertical |
sometimes it is horizontal -

The slope of the line determines which is which.

Answer 22

for the first one would it be linear(x)=0x+7? also how do i make the lines bend like the second problem i have to do? @mathteacher1729

Answer 23

You got the first one! :D
Now uncheck the box for "linear"
and check the box for "Absolute value, square root"

Answer 24

oh i think i got it, it would be absolute value correct?

Answer 25

now the last one is tricky, its curved

Answer 26

lx+2l+0.1 for the second problem

Answer 27

ooh scratch off the +0.1

Answer 28

Yes, the one that's shaped like a "V" is the absolute value function.

Answer 29

how do i do the last problem, i don't know how to make it curve

Answer 30

@mathteacher1729

Answer 31

please help me with the last one!!!

Answer 32

Wait, you don't see the other function? What do you see now?

Answer 33

thats what i see @mathteacher1729

Answer 34

Yup that looks correct. The red function is the square root function. The "left & right" and "up and down" will... move it left and right and up and down. :)

Answer 35

right, but for the third problem , how do i make it curve??

Answer 36

It is already curved. That curve is the square root function.

Answer 37

how do i make it look like this?

Answer 38

like the red line is going the wrong way i guess

Answer 39

Yeah. I see.

Answer 40

how do i make it go the other way?

Answer 41

You have to make it sqrt(-x -h)

(notice how the x is negative INSIDE the square root.

You can do this by double-clicking on the red text on the left that says "sqareroot(x) = sqrt(x-h)+k"

Answer 42

thank you soooo much for all your help! :)

Answer 43

would it still be an absolute value?

Answer 44

i put down square root (x)= square root -x+3

Answer 45

It would be sqrt(-x+3)

Answer 46

sweet! thanks so much for all your help! i appreciate it! :)
