Algebra.Com's Answer #54529 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! how do i graph -2f(x+1)-3 when f(x)= the absolute value of x \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "Let's assume you know that f(x)=|x| looks like \n" ); document.write( "a \"V\" with the bottom point at (0,0). \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "The \"(x+1)\" moves the entire graph 1 to the left so \n" ); document.write( "the bottof of the V is at (-1,0) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "The \"-2\" flips it over the x-axis so not the tip of \n" ); document.write( "the V is still at (-1,0) but the V is upside down. \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "The \"-3\" lovers all the points of the graph so the \n" ); document.write( "tip of the V is now at (-1,-3). \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
