Do you have a better picture?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hg(x) means you multiply h(x) times g(x) and then we will set it equal to
.
hg(x) =
which simplifies to
. Now set that equal to
:
and get everything on the same side and factor:
. Factor by grouping:
and factor out what's common in each set of ( ):
which factors out to
. But
factors somoe to:
(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 So the solutions for this are
x = -1, 1
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.
