Which graph represents the function f(x) = |x + 3|?

Answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.

But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation.

A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.

Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph.

What happens to the graph?

Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).

What about the y = |x| + h graph?

Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.

So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.

answer: b

step-by-step explanation:

well if you have a decimal you have to line them up and make sure the you have everything   straight and then add or subtract some thing with   division and   multiplying so just like them up
