Glad I could help :)

Do you need an explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be usefull :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) when you add a constant you are making it increase faster, for example at x=0 for absolute value of X the y value is 0. But at abs(X) +8 the value is 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not increase faster sorry but start at a higher number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to move it horizontally the function would have to have the constant added to the inside the abs value sign.
