Answer:
See attached graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can graph this with relative ease on the calculator or computer (see attachment) but let's make sure we understand it theoretically and algebraically!
y=|x - 4| + 2
First of all, this is an absolute value function, so it'll look like a v where every input equals its positive output (2, 2) (-3,3) etc. You can't get a negative number with a graph of y=|x| unless you translate it.
Next, there's a -4 inside the abs val. According to the formula y = |x - h| + k, where h is the horizontal shift, this means we need to shift the vertex right 4.
There's a +2 outside the abs val. K is the vertical shift, so we need to shift the vertex up 2.
The question asks for a vertical line, and if it is vertical, it cannot be y = ... because that is horizontal. We also know it passes through the x-coordinate of -4, so the answer is x = -4.

A:
a) What do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent?
The x-intercepts are the distances at which the ball is on the ground.
First, at x = 0, that is when the ball is kicked; second, at x = 30, when the ball falls (return) to the ground.
b) What are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing,
and what do they represent about the distance and height? (6 points)
The function is increasing in the interval (0, 15) and is decreasing in the interval (15,30)
The increasing interval (0,15) is the horizontal distance from the point the the ball was kicked until it reached its highest altitude, this is where the ball was going upward.
The decreasing interval (15,30) is the horizontal distance from the point where the ball reached its highest altitude until it landed on the ground, this is where the ball was falling down.
Part B: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x
= 22 to x = 26, and what does this rate represent
On the graph you can read that at x = 22, f(x) ≈ 12, and at x = 26 f(x) ≈ 7.
So, an approximate rate of change from x = 22 to x = 26 is given by the equation below:
change on f(x) 7 - 12
average rate of change = --------------------- = ----------- = -5/4
change of x 26 - 22
That rate represents that the ball fell about 5 ft per 4 ft in that interval.
