Answer:
A) The graph of function g(x) is V-shaped and has the following properties:
- The vertex is (-3, 0)
- The axis of symmetry is x = -3
- The domain is the set of all real numbers: (-∞, ∞)
- The range is [0, ∞)
B) Translation of 2 units down.
Therefore:
- The vertex is (0, -2)
- The range is [-2, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value parent function, f(x) = |x|, is defined as:
[tex]f(x)=\begin{cases}x \; &\text{if}\;x > 0\\0 \; &\text{if} \; x=0\\-x\; &\text{if}\;x < 0\end{cases}[/tex]
Therefore:
- The slope of the line where x > 0 is positive.
- The slope of the line where x < 0 is negative.
Its graph is V-shaped and has the following properties:
- The x-intercept and y-intercept are at the origin (0, 0).
- The vertex is at the origin (0, 0).
- The axis of symmetry is x = 0 (y-axis).
- The domain is the set of all real numbers: (-∞, ∞).
- The range is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to 0: [0, ∞).
Part A
Given absolute value function:
[tex]g(x)=|x+3|[/tex]
The graph of function g(x) is the parent function f(x) translated 3 units to the left.
As the graph has only been translated horizontally, the domain and range are the same as the parent function.
Therefore, the graph of function g(x) has:
- Vertex = (-3, 0)
- Domain = (-∞, ∞)
- Range = [0, ∞)
Part B
Given absolute value functions:
[tex]f(x)=|x|[/tex]
[tex]h(x)=|x|-2[/tex]
The graph of function h(x) is the parent function f(x) translated 2 units down.
As the graph has been translated vertically, the domain is the same as the parent function, but the vertex and range are different.
- The y-value of the vertex of h(x) is 2 less than f(x).
Therefore, the vertex is (0, -2). - The minimum value of range of h(x) is 2 less than f(x).
Therefore, the range is [-2, ∞).
