Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the problem you uploaded.
You are asked to match two functions, and , with their corresponding graphs. Here's the breakdown of the two functions:
-
:
- This graph will have the same shape as the sine function, but all the negative parts of the sine wave will be reflected above the x-axis, making all values non-negative.
-
:
- This function is the sine of the absolute value of , meaning it mirrors the sine wave around the y-axis. For negative values of , it will behave as if were positive.
Now let's compare the graphs:
-
Left graph: The sine wave looks mirrored around the x-axis, with all negative values made positive. This matches the behavior of .
-
Right graph: The graph is symmetric around the y-axis, which is the characteristic of .
Conclusion:
- Left graph corresponds to .
- Right graph corresponds to .
Would you like further details on these functions or any follow-up questions?
Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How does the graph of differ from ?
- What is the period of ?
- How would you graph ?
- What happens to when the absolute value is applied to both and ?
- Can you explain how symmetry around the x-axis and y-axis affects the graph?
Tip: When analyzing absolute value functions, observe how they alter both the negative and positive portions of a graph, reflecting or mirroring different parts.
