\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%28x%29=-+abs%28x-5%29+-3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "compare to $\"f%28x%29=-+a%2Aabs%28x-h%29+%2Bk\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you see that $\"h=5\"$ and $\"k=-3\"$ , so the vertex is at: ( $\"5\"$ , $\"-3\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since $\"a\"$ is negative, it opens $\"down\"$ \r
