Question 981110: Graphf(x)= |x+2|

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+f%28x%29+=+abs%28+x%2B2+%29+
The absolute value can never be negative,
so +f%28x%29+ is always positive
---------------------------
+f%28x%29+=+0+ when +x+=+-2+ because
+abs%28+-2+%2B+2+%29+=+0+
--------------------
You can think of this function as 2 functions:
+abs%28+-x+%2B+2%29+ and
+abs%28+x+%2B+2+%29+ where +x+ is always
positive
Here's the plot:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-12%2C+10%2C+-2%2C+10%2C+abs%28+x%2B2+%29+%29+
