Write an inequality for each graph help
Help
@jim_thompson5910 help
first of all, can you get the equation of the function graphed?
arent we suppose to make an equation
I know
Get the equation of the graphed function, check which area/region represented in the graph, then apply the signs < > to match it. This is the sequence I know! Can you tell me a short one?
can u just show me how this one is done cuz then i can use this as an example for the other problems i have
right now i am just super confused
Please relax. You will get happy when you hit the target!
okay
Do you know what the function graphed is?
this is what i have y=-2lx-3l-4
i think this is wrong
Let me see
May I share a useful "grapher" with you?
sure

If you wish, test your functions, algebraic and graphically.
can u just show me how this one is done
I am on it.
For the equation: it is not -| | as -| | is looking down, but the graph we have is looking up, so it will be +| |
Its head is at (1,-4)
okay
So what the whole thing look like?
Take that pic, please.
?
Hope that is clear
Got it?
so its only negative it faces down right?
Right. for this function and many others
Let's proceed?
i guess
In general for an absolute value function f(x)... \[\large f(x) = a*\left| x-h \right|+k\] The vertex point of it is at the point (h,k) the slope of the line on the right half is 'a'
You have vertex at (h,k)=(1,-4), and slope a=2 \[y=2\left| x-1 \right|-4\]
Now we will test either area (inside the legs of the function and outer) to see which one is shaded. oK?
i can't seem to understand the 2 where its coming from @DanJS
The function \[f(x)=\left| x \right|\] has a line slope 1 on the right... this one has slope a=2
It is a simple test. Let's pick the origin point as the test point. Simply the result of direct substitution lead you which sign you should choose.
would the slope be 1/2 because u go 1 left up 2
wouldnt?
\[f(x)=a*\left| x-h \right|+k\] slope is rise/run, change in y over change in x, here it is 2/1 = 2 For the general function above The 'a' is the slope , it squishes the graph horizontally or stretches it out.. the vertex point is at (h,k)
oh i see where u r coming from
Like this one here, it is translated 2 left and 2 up, and has a slope of -1 on the right side. |dw:1475030585868:dw|
Can we finish this problem?
@MarcoReus11
For th example above... \[y=-1*\left| x-(-2) \right|+2\] \[y=-\left| x+2 \right|+2\]
i think u mean by -2 for slope right?
actually nevermind u r right my bad 2 divided by -2 is 1
