OpenStudy (bananas1234):

(0,-4)?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

if you draw f(x)=|x|

OpenStudy (amorfide):

|dw:1478745899128:dw|

OpenStudy (amorfide):

this turning point is (0,0)

OpenStudy (amorfide):

but you want you want |x|+4 so we translate |x| 4 units in the positive y direction, meaning our turning point goes up by 4 on the y axis

OpenStudy (amorfide):

|dw:1478745969287:dw|

OpenStudy (amorfide):

so we had a turning point at (0,0) now we are at the point (0,0+4)

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

so (0,4)?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Sorry, I was not here!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Hint: you can use this ( | )instead of ( / ) to represent the absolute value!

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yes (0,4)

OpenStudy (3mar):

Are you satisfied?
