Answer:
The absolute value graph below does not flip.
Step-by-step explanation:
New graphs are made when transformed from their parents graphs. The parent graph for an absolute value graph is f(x) = |x|.
The equation used for a new graph transformed from the parent graph is in the form f(x) = a |k(x - d)| + c.
"a" shows vertical stretch (a>1) or vertical compression (0<a<1), and <u>flip across the x-axis if "a" is negative</u>.
"k" shows horizontal stretch (0<k<1) or horizontal compression (k>1), and <u>flip across the y-axis if "k" is negative</u>.
"d" shows horizontal shifts left (positive number) or right (negative number).
"c" shows vertical shifts up (positive) or down (negative).
The function f(x)=2|x-9|+3 has these transformations from the parent graph:
a = 2; Vertical stretch by a factor of 2
k = 1; No change
d = 9; Horizontal shift right 9 units
c = 3; Vertical shift up 3 units
Since neither "a" nor "k" was negative, there were no flips, <u>also known as reflections</u>.
The answer is believed to be around 1500

notice, we didn't use the negative value, valid though as it is, because in this case "a" can't be negative.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can simplify this equation down until we have x isolated.

If we add 17 to both sides:

Now we can divide both sides by 3:

So
.
