Math Problem Statement

Draw the graph of y=|x| and y=|x|+ for the values of x from - 3 to 3

Solution

Here are the graphs of y=xy = |x| (blue solid line) and y=x+1y = |x| + 1 (green dashed line) for the values of xx from -3 to 3:

  • The graph of y=xy = |x| forms a V-shape with its vertex at the origin (0, 0).
  • The graph of y=x+1y = |x| + 1 is identical in shape but shifted upward by 1 unit, with its vertex at (0, 1).

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How would the graph change if we shifted y=xy = |x| by 2 units downward?
  2. What would the graph of y=x2y = |x| - 2 look like?
  3. How does the slope of the lines for y=xy = |x| differ on either side of the y-axis?
  4. What happens to the graph if we modify it to y=x+1y = |x + 1|?
  5. How would the graph of y=xy = -|x| differ from the original?

Tip: Absolute value functions often form V-shaped graphs, and vertical shifts occur by adding or subtracting constants directly to the equation.
