Answer:
<em>No values of x can make f(x)=6</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation with Absolute Value
The absolute value of a number is always positive. That condition must be met when solving equations. Any condition that goes against the rule, must be discarded and not part of the solution.
The function provided in the question is:
We need to find the value(s) of x that make:
f(x)=6
It needs to solve the equation:
Subtracting 1:
Dividing by -0.5:
We reach to this equation to solve:
As stated above, the absolute value is always positive, and the equation forces the absolute value to be negative. There is no possible value of x that makes the absolute value negative, thus:
No values of x can make f(x)=6
Answer:
(B) compress the graph closer to the x-axis
(E) translate the graph to the left
(F) translate the graph up
Step-by-step explanation:
When functions are transformed there are a few simple rules:
- Adding/subtracting inside the parenthesis to the input shifts the function left(+) and right(-).
- Adding/subtracting outside the parenthesis to the output shifts the function up(+) and down(-).
- Multiplying the function by a number less than 1 compresses it towards the x-axis.
- Multiplying the function by a number greater than 1 stretches it away from the x-axis.
This graph has been multiplied by 1/4 which is less than 1. It will be compressed.
This graph has x added to by 3. It will shift left 3 units.
This graph has the output outside of x added to by 6. It will shift 6 units up. See picture below. The original function is red. The new function is blue.
