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.
-
: This equation represents the absolute value of . The graph is a V-shaped curve that opens upwards, with its vertex at the origin .
-
: It seems like the second equation is incomplete. To proceed, I'll assume you meant something like , where 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 and for the values of from to .
Let me generate the graph for you.Here is the graph of the equations and for the values of from to :
- The blue curve represents .
- The red curve represents , 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:
- What happens to the graph of if we add different constants (e.g., )?
- How does the graph of compare to the original ?
- What is the effect of multiplying by a constant in the absolute value function (e.g., )?
- How does the graph of differ from ?
- What transformations occur if we add a constant to the value, such as ?
Tip: In absolute value functions, adding a constant to the outside shifts the graph vertically, while adding to the inside shifts it horizontally.
