First we draw the graph of y = 3|x - 2| the boundary graph by getting 1. the vertex when what's between the absolute value bars equals 0: x - 2 = 0 x = 2 Substitute in y = 3|x - 2| y = 3|2 - 2| y = 3|0| y = 3∙0 y = 0 So the vertex is (2,0) 2. Get a point on the left side of 2, (1,3) 3. Get a point on the right side of 2, (3,3) Draw the graph dotted because its <, not <Now shade BELOW the graph because it's " y < ": Edwin
