Question

will fan+medal!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

Use integer values of x from -3 to 3 to graph the equation y=-|-x|.

Answer 1

a

Answer 2

b.

Answer 3

c.

Answer 4

d.

Answer 5

@Otterthecat would you know this one too?

Answer 6

I apologize, I don't ^-^" Sorry!

Answer 7

thats alright :)

Answer 8

y=-|-x|

Well,
1) |Stuff| is never negative, so -|Stuff| is never positive. You can throw out anythign that is ever positive. That looks like A and D are gone.

Okay, how do we distinguish between B and C?

Answer 9

hmm... from the -3 and 3?

Answer 10

2) Where does |x| make a difference?

|-3.1| = 3.1
|-3.0| = 3.0
|-2.9| = 2.9

Looks like things around -3 act about the same. The sign was changed on all of them.

|3.1| = 3.1
|3.0| = 3.0
|2.9| = 2.9

Looks like things around +3 act about the same. Nothing happened.

|-0.1| = 0.1
|0.0| = 0.0
|0.1| = 0.1

Now, THERE'S something interesting. Some changed sign and some didn't.

Answer 11

yeah, that is interesting! why?

Answer 12

so, the negatives changed?

Answer 13

Look at B and C. Which graph has the right Interesting Part? It looks like the both are interesting around x = 0, so that didn't help much.

Okay, which one actually restricts the Domain to [-3,3]? Answer that and we're done.

Answer 14

C?

Answer 15

@tkhunny would it be c?
