Here's the Graph
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
that an absolute value graph
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
shifted to left 3 units and up 2 unites
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so the parenting function is f(x)=|x|
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
how do we write shift to right?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
f(x)=|x+3| right?
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
now try to think of the shift upwards what do we need to add
OpenStudy (1davey29):
Side note: it's also being compressed horizontally.
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
I couldn't tell just looking at it, but I would agree!
f(x)=a|x+3|+2
if it is compressed then you need to find a

Brandy don't wait there for an answer! you won't learn that way

Oh no I'm not I'm just trying to understand
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so summarize what you understand
OpenStudy (brandyscott29):
So I understand how it is shifted and I understand that we need to find a but I'm not sure how I can find a.
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
yes just plug in a value of x from the graph you should be able to find a
OpenStudy (brandyscott29):
okay! thank you so much!
