\n" ); document.write( "first graph $\"abs%28x%29\"$ and $\"x-1\"$ so that you take several values for $\"x\"$ and find $\"abs%28x%29\"$ and $\"x-1\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "make a table:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x\"$ | $\"abs%28x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0\"$ | $\"0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1\"$ | $\"1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1\"$ | $\"1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2\"$ | $\"2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2\"$ | $\"2\"$ ..........graph it\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x\"$ | $\"x-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0\"$ | $\"-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1\"$ | $\"0\"$ ..........graph it\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2Cabs%28x%29%2C+x-1%29+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as you can see from a graph, $\"abs%28x%29%3Ex-1\"$ for all real numbers $\"x\"$ from $\"-infinity\"$ to $\"infinity\"$ \r
