Answer Key

1)  y = 1 |x +1| + 2

Range is 2 ≤ y ≤ ∞

2)  y = -1 |x + 3| - 2

Range is -2 ≤ y ≤ -∞

3)  y = -2 |x - 2| + 3

Range is 3 ≤ y ≤ -∞

4)  y = (1/2) |x + 2| - 3

Range is -3 ≤ y ≤ ∞

5)  y = (-3/4) |x - 1|

Range is 1 ≤ y ≤ -∞

6)  y = (2/3) |x + 2|

Range is -2 ≤ y ≤ ∞

7) By observing the graph, the function opens up but the vertex is at (-1, -3) and that is the error.

8)  By observing the graph, it opens up. But it should be open down and that is the error.

Graph the following absolute value function :

 by finding the following.

(i) Vertex

(ii)  Slope

(iii)  Direction of opening

(iv) x and y intercepts

(v) Domain and range

(vi) Increasing and decreasing

Problem 1 :

y = 3|x - 3|

Solution

Problem 2 :

Graph

f(x) = |x − 4| − 1

Determine when the function is positive, negative, increasing, or decreasing. Then describe the end behavior of the function.

Solution

Problem 3 :

A function g is increasing when x < 2, decreasing when x > 2, and has a range of (−∞, −2). Use the given values to complete the function. Do not use any value more than once.

-2      0       2     - 1

Solution

Problem 4 :

Graph each absolute value function f with the given characteristics.

a) f has a range of (−∞, 1), and a graph that is symmetric about the line x = −2 and has a y-intercept of −5.

b) f is positive over the intervals (−∞, 0) and (4, ∞), negative over the interval (0, 4), and the minimum value is −4.

Solution

Answer Key

1) 

Vertex is at (3, 0).

x-intercept is (3, 0).

y-intercept is at (0, 9).

The curve will open up.

Domain and range :

  • All real values is domain.
  • Range is 3 ≤ y ≤ ∞

Increasing and Decreasing :

  • To the left of minimum, it is decreasing.
  • To the right of minimum, it is increasing.

2)

  • Vertex is at (4, -1)
  • Opening up.
  • x-intercepts are (5, 0) and (3, 0)
  • y-intercept is (0, 3)
  • Positive when x < 3 and x > 5
  • Negative when 3 < x < 5

Increasing or decreasing :

Decreasing on (-∞, 4)

Decreasing on (4, ∞)

End behavior :

When x -> -∞ y --> ∞

When x -> ∞ y --> ∞

3) y = |x - 2|

4)

Because the graph is symmetric about x = −2, the x-value of the vertex is −2. Because the range is (−∞, 1), the y-value of the vertex is 1.

Plot the vertex (−2, 1). Because the y-intercept is − 5, plot the point (0, − 5) and its reflection in the line of symmetry, (−4, −5). Then draw the graph.

Problem 1 :

f(x) = -3│x - 4│ + 3

Problem 2 :

f(x) = -1/2│x - 2│ + 4

Problem 3 :

f(x) = │x - 3│ - 2
