First we draw the graph of y = 3|x - 2| the boundary
graph by getting
1. the vertex when what's between the absolute
value bars equals 0:
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Substitute in y = 3|x - 2|
y = 3|2 - 2|
y = 3|0|
y = 3∙0
y = 0
So the vertex is (2,0)
2. Get a point on the left side of 2, (1,3)
3. Get a point on the right side of 2, (3,3)
Draw the graph dotted because its <, not <
Now shade BELOW the graph because it's " y < ":
