Question 83492: Graph y[x]+3. Suggestion is to use five points to see a turn. Please give explanation and show points. Thank you. C. S. Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do you mean y = |x| + 3 ?? These vertical lines mean absolute value. What you posted was brackets [x], which in math means something completely different.
They want you to make a table of values.
Let x=3, then y = |3| +3 = 6
Let x=2, then y = |2| +3 = 5
Let x=1, then y = |1| +3 = 4
Let x=0, then y = |0| +3 = 3
Let x=-1, then y = |-1| +3 = 1+3=4
Let x=-2, then y = |-2| +3 = 2+3=5
Let x=-3, then y = |-3| +3 = 3 +3=6
Notice that the points "turn around" at x= 3. The graph looks like this:
