Question

Which equation represents the graph?

Answer 1

which equation?

Answer 2

A. f(x) = |x - 3|

B. f(x) = |x + 3|

C. f(x) = |x| - 3

D. f(x) = |x| + 3

I've narrowed it down to A or B.

Answer 3

@priyar @Stormer15 Last question, it's just a bit trickier. I have other tests but hopefully those will be easy enough for me to do on my own.

Answer 4

it's a

Answer 5

see..if u substitute 3 in the equation for 'x' u must get y=0

Answer 6

so is it a or b ?

Answer 7

you can't always do that ,you should know how to graph

Answer 8

Sparrow don't be rude.

Answer 9

what, i'm not being rude.. w teach you general principle how to solve any problem like this

Answer 10

ok i'm out

Answer 11

even while drawing the graph first we see where x or y takes zero value so as to make it easier to plot the graph..

Answer 12

cheesecake: What is the "parent function" of the function whose graph is given here?

How would you transform that function to obtain the given graph? Think in terms of horizontal and/or vertical transformations.

Answer 13

@CheesecakeKitten did u understand?

Answer 14

Draw the graph of y=|x|.
Next, suppose that we move this whole graph 2 units to the right. (Just an example). What would the graph now look like?
apply this concept towards identifying which of the four choices of equation fits the given graph.

Answer 15

no..don't think like that..its simple..take your time to understand..

Answer 16

you are given an equation..y=|x-3|..so first simple step would be to check where the graph cuts the x-axis and y-axis..here what are those points?

Answer 17

@CheesecakeKitten ?

Answer 18

Sorry I got lost in my own mind for a moment there. I PASSED! :D
