Question

Select the point that is on the right side of the vertex of y = |x + 3| + 4.

(–5, 6)

(–4, 5)

(–3, 4)

(–1, 6)

Answer 1

do you know which point is the vertex?

Answer 2

noope

Answer 3

ok then lets find that first, that is the real part of the question

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

\(|x+3|\) is always greater than or equal to zero. it is only zero if \(x=-3\) so the first coordinate of the vertex is \(-3\)

Answer 6

okay whats next

Answer 7

the second coordinate is that \(4\) out at the end, so the vertex is \((-3,4)\)

Answer 8

so that's the answer?

Answer 9

then to finish, look at your choices and see which point is to the RIGHT of \((-3,4)\) which in simple english means the \(x\) coordinate must be larger than \(-3\)

Answer 10

i still dont understand how to get that

Answer 11

no \((-3,4)\) is not the answer because it is kind of a trick question
the vertex is \((-3,4)\) but you are asked for a coordinate that is to the right of \((-3,4)\)

Answer 12

so how do i find that out

Answer 13

of the four points given, which one has an \(x\) value that is greater than \(-3\) ?

Answer 14

D?

Answer 15

yes, since \(-1>-3\)

Answer 16

so the answer is D?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

thank u for helping me figure it out
