Look at the picture.

It is a function graph with an absolute value: y = |x| shifted 5 units to the right and 1 unit up.

The shaded region is above the graph.

Therefore we have the inequality:

y ≥ |x - 5| + 1

-------------------------------------------------------

f(x) + n - shift a graph n units up

f(x) - n - shift a graph n units down

f(x - n) - shift a graph n units right

f(x + n) - shift a graph n units left
