The vertex is where it either is maximum or minimum. What is the minimum of |x -9|?

anonymous · Answer

Where are you stuck @Jonathan1997 ?

anonymous · Answer

I'm not stuck! I just want to know if (9,3) is right because I solved it and all I just want y'all to check it

anonymous · Answer

answer @ParthKohli  question that will help you

anonymous · Answer

It is 9, 3. because the vertex, by definition is the minimum or the maximum, in that case, every x that is less than or greater than 9 will result into higher number, since the absolute value function opens upward, unless a negative sign is put in the beginning, so the value of x must be 9 to result into l0l + 3 or, (9,3)
