Absolute value functions are v-shaped. I hthink the turning point you're referring to is the vertex. This is where the inside of the absolute value is zero.
f(x) = |x+2|
0 = x+2
-2 = x
vertex (-2,0)
The answer is boxed in. follow the arrows.
positive = greater than 0.
Therefore we have the inequality:
|add 7 to both sides
4.5 is the answer
Divide 49 from both sides
220.5 / 49 = 4.5
Answer:
good news, the second one is relatively easy because it can be factored to (2x+1)(2x-3) which means that number two has solutions of -1/2 and 3/2
but for number one you have to either use the quadratic equation cause I've tried using synthetic division or just use the second equation to derive the first solutions so I tried move the graph up by two units and found that the intercepts are approximately (1+-√2)/2 or 1/2+-1/√2 for 4x^2-4x-1
