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?

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?

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|

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?
