Question

The vertex is (1, 4) and the sign of a is -2 How do I find the range?

Answer 1

are u talking about a parabola?

Answer 2

no the lines are linear

Answer 3

so what exactly is the vertex you're referring to?

Answer 4

Sorry I know that I sound stupid right now. lol The vertex is a graph I had to draw. The graph was y = -2 Ix - 1I + 4

Answer 5

no you don't sound that way... math is so broad that vertex could mean a lot of things...
i'm just trying to clarify the question... and good thing i did because i thought the question was referring to a parabola... :)

Answer 6

thankyou :P

Answer 7

so the graph is an absolute value function...

y = -2|x-1| + 4

Answer 8

because of the -2, the vertex will be HIGHEST point in the graph....

Answer 9

HINT: the highest value for y is 4...

Answer 10

So the range would be all real numbers between -2 and 4?

Answer 11

no... the range is:
all real numbers less than or equal to 4

Answer 12

I get it! :D Thankyou!

Answer 13

yw...:)
