Question 87477: Determine the symmetry (relative to the x-axis, y-axis, and/or origin) of the graph of the following function. You do not need to submit the graphs.
u(x)= |x|+1

This has symmetry about the x-axis, since if you substitute any negative value for x, you get the same value for y as if you had substituted the corresponding positive value of x. The formula looks like this: f(-x) = f(x).
