The front of a camping tent can be modeled by the function:
y = -1.4|x-2.5|+3.5
where x and y are measured in feet and the x-axis represents the ground.
a. Graph the function
y = -1.4|x-2.5|+3.5
the table
x | y
------
0 | 0
.5 |.7
1.0|1.4
1.5|2.1
2.0|2.8
2.5|3.5
3.0|2.8
3.5|2.1
4.0|1.4
4.5| .7
5.0| 0
b. Interpret the domain and range of the function in the given context.
You can see the domain is 0 to 5, and the range is 0 to 3.5. No neg values here
