Notice that in your attachment, it opens downward, not upward. Do you know why?

anonymous · Answer

i really have no idea, can you maybe explain it to me?

anonymous · Answer

What don't you understand?

anonymous · Answer

is the answer a?

anonymous · Answer

No, It's not a. Since function opens downward, there must be a minus sign outside the absolute value. You get it?

anonymous · Answer

kinda so would it be c?

anonymous · Answer

That's correct. 8 shifts the function to the left and -4 shifts it to down. Do you understand?

anonymous · Answer

oh yes! no i understand!!
