Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

Let's clarify the two equations you provided.

  1. y=xy = |x|: This equation represents the absolute value of xx. The graph is a V-shaped curve that opens upwards, with its vertex at the origin (0,0)(0, 0).

  2. y=x+(missing part)y = |x| + \text{(missing part)}: It seems like the second equation is incomplete. To proceed, I'll assume you meant something like y=x+ky = |x| + k, where kk is a constant. Let me know if this assumption is correct or provide the missing value for a more accurate graph.

For now, I will plot the graph of y=xy = |x| and y=x+1y = |x| + 1 for the values of xx from 3-3 to 33.

Let me generate the graph for you.Here is the graph of the equations y=xy = |x| and y=x+1y = |x| + 1 for the values of xx from 3-3 to 33:

  • The blue curve represents y=xy = |x|.
  • The red curve represents y=x+1y = |x| + 1, which is simply a vertical shift of the blue curve by 1 unit upwards.

Would you like more details on how these graphs were constructed or have any other questions?

Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What happens to the graph of y=xy = |x| if we add different constants (e.g., y=x+2y = |x| + 2)?
  2. How does the graph of y=x1y = |x| - 1 compare to the original y=xy = |x|?
  3. What is the effect of multiplying xx by a constant in the absolute value function (e.g., y=2xy = |2x|)?
  4. How does the graph of y=xy = -|x| differ from y=xy = |x|?
  5. What transformations occur if we add a constant to the xx value, such as y=x+2y = |x + 2|?

Tip: In absolute value functions, adding a constant to the outside shifts the graph vertically, while adding to the inside shifts it horizontally.
