Question

3. What is the vertical shift for the absolute value function below?F(x) 9|x + 1|+ 2

Answer 1

The vertical shift is of 2 units up

Explanation:

We have a function in the following format:

F(x) = a(x+b) + c

The vertical shift is given by c.

If c > 0, the shift is up.

If c < 0, the shift is down.

In this question:

F(x) = 9|x+1| + 2

So c = 2

The vertical shift is of 2 units up
