Exemplo 2 de Algebra and Trigonometry, 3.6 Absolute Value Functions
Problema e solução em inglês, como no livro original.
Write an equation for the function graphed in Figure 4.
Resolva no papel primeiro. Depois abra a solução um passo de cada vez e pare assim que conseguir terminar sozinho.
The basic absolute value function changes direction at the origin, so this graph has been shifted to the right 3 units and down 2 units from the basic toolkit function. See Figure 5.
We also notice that the graph appears vertically stretched, because the width of the final graph on a horizontal line is not equal to 2 times the vertical distance from the corner to this line, as it would be for an unstretched absolute value function. Instead, the width is equal to 1 times the vertical distance as shown in Figure 6.
From this information we can write the equation
O Try It do livro logo depois deste exemplo: mesma ideia, outros números. Só a resposta é dada.
Write the equation for the absolute value function that is horizontally shifted left 2 units, is vertically flipped, and vertically shifted up 3 units.
