what is the vertex y=a| x-h |+k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Depending where the k(vertical or y/int) and h(horizontal/x-axis) is .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does that mean? I have a few choices (a,k),(x,y),(h,k),(a,h) NOTA(none of the above)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it uses normal x and y axes... At x = h, then the absolute value part is 0. For an x one less than h, the absolute value will give the same result as for x one greater than h. So x = h is the vertex, since it's where the v-shape in the graph occurs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be (h,k)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the vertex occurs at x = h. So the y value when x = h is found by substituting x = h into the function. Yes, you are right, (h,k) :)

Thank You so much

if you go to junkbank.net and then click on fooplot you can put your equation and it will come up.
