Describe the graph of the function. y = |x – 4| – 7

Mathematics

Lemur [1.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

This is always ''interesting'' If you see an absolute value, you always need to deal with when it is zero:

(x-4)=0 ===> x=4,

so that now you have to plot 2 functions!

For x<= 4: what's inside the absolute value (x-4) is negative, right?, then let's make it +, by multiplying by -1:

|x-4| = -(x-4)=4-x

Then:

for x<=4, y = -x+4-7 = -x-3

for x=>4, (x-4) is positive, so no changes:

y= x-4-7 = x-11,

Now plot both lines. Pick up some x that are 4 or less, for y = -x-3, and some points that are 4 or greater, for y=x-11

In fact, only two points are necessary to draw a line, right? So if you want to go full speed, choose:

x=4 and x= 3 for y=-x-3

And just x=5 for y=x-11

The reason is that the absolute value is continuous, so x=4 works for both:

x=4===> y=-4-3 = -7

x==4 ====> y = 4-11=-7!

abs() usually have a cusp int he point where it is =0

You read 9.75 pages in your science book and 24.5 pages of a play for English class. It takes you 1.2 minutes to read each page
Sladkaya [172]
9.75 * 1.2 = 11.7
24.5 * .8 = 19.6

11.7+19.6= 31.3 minutes

hope this helped :)

Select the statements that are true for the graph of y=(x+2)^2+4
likoan [24]
Alrigty

in form
y=a(x-h)^2+k
the vertex is (h,k)
the constant, a, deterimines the size and direction
if a>0, then the parabola opens up and the vertex is the minimum
if a<0 then the parabola opens down and the vertex is the maximum

so we are given
y=1(x-(-2))^2+4
1>0 so it opens up
vertex is (-2,4)
the vertex is a minimum


the vertex is (-2,4) and the graph has a minimum
