Question 914236: f(x)=-2|-3x-6|+4
graph and find domain and range.
This is the question on my quiz today. Im not sure that it was +4 but i think it was.
can you please show table of values and the process, I was really lost.

A table of values is just a way to begin learning how to pick points of functions and make a graph. You can pick values yourself for x and evaluate the corresponding f(x) for each.

More useful is to analyze the function and graph it from knowledge about the function.

There is a critical x value,

at which a corner occurs.

When -3x-6>=0,



Corresponding to .

When -3x-6<0,




Corresponding to .

Each of those is a linear equation, but a corner occurs at x=-2.



If you really want to make a data table for x and y, start with x at -4, pick increasing integer values up until about +4....
