The parent function is ...
... f(x) = |x|
This is the absolute value function, equal x when x ≥ 0, and equal to -x when x < 0. Its graph has the shape of a V with the vertex at the origin and "legs" of slope ±1.
The function g(x) is the same function with 2 added. The addition of 2 moves every value of f(x) up 2 units, so translates the whole graph upward by 2 units.
Answer: (B)
Explanation: If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.
But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation.
A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.
Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph.
What happens to the graph?
Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).
What about the y = |x| + h graph?
Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.
So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.
Answer:
20 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Your work is partially correct.
Assuming that the sides marked 8 yds and 2 yds are parallel, then the area of the trapezoid is
A = ( 8 yds + 2 yds)
------------------------ * 4 = 20 yd^2
