f(x) = 4|x + 1| 6 What is the vertex of the graph of f(x)? (-1, -6) (-1, 6) (1, -6) (4, -6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph of abs(x-1) is going to be shiftedone unit to the right, so its coordinates is (1,0), so we want 4 times that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..4,6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*-6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large f(x) = 4|x + 1|- 6 \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is the given equation like above ? there must be a + or - sign before 6. check once

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are right once again lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so its a minus sign ha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesss :3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay :) so you wanto find vertex of this absolute value function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yessss indeed

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to find x coordinate, simply set the thing between BARS to 0 x+1 = 0 x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yup ! x = -1 you still need to find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that was my problem... i dont know how to find y

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y is simply the thing outside BARS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh! so negitive 6?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large f(x) = 4|x + 1|- 6\) ^^^^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yup !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x = -1 y = -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)) thank u so much.. i dont understand how to do algebra much because i do k12 and its independent work :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i kinda have to teach myself this stuff

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oh nice, you're doing a great job ramping up on ur own ! keep it up !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:))))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankk youu.
