Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given graph shows a transformation of the function . The original absolute value function has its vertex at and opens upward with a slope of 1 on both sides.
Analyzing the Transformation:
From the graph, we observe the following:
- Vertex Shift: The vertex of the new function is located at , indicating a horizontal shift to the left by 2 units.
- Vertical Stretch: The graph opens upward and appears narrower than the basic absolute value function, indicating a vertical stretch. The slope of the right side of the V is 2 instead of 1, so the function has been vertically stretched by a factor of 2.
Writing the Transformation:
The general form of the transformation for an absolute value function is: Where:
- is the vertical stretch or compression factor.
- represents the horizontal shift (right or left).
- represents the vertical shift (up or down).
