does |x|+1=0 for any x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so we have shows a absolute function that does not have any zeroes, and thus does not pass the horizontal asymptote.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also the horizontal asymptote is the horizontal intercepts right?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yes sorry

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

do they all pass through the vertical intercepts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im gonna guess no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what are they considering absolute functions? anything with |x| in it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

|x+2|/x is this considered an absolute value function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this was the question True or False All absolute value functions have a horizontal and a vertical intercept. EXPLAIN.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

|x+2|\x can x = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

well then this one does not have a vert intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when i graph the abs (x + 1) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it goes through the horizontal?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

I said |x|+1 not |x+1|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya that still crosses

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

it crosses the x axis? look again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

that would imply |x|+1 = 0 has a solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

horizontal is x axis?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oaky thakns for the help
