Question

Identify the vertex intercepts and weather of the graph of the function below opens up or down

Answer 1

Graph opens down due to - |x - 1| - 2

x intercept:

0 = - |x - 1| - 2

the statement is false for any value of x; so there is no x-intercept

y - intercept:

f(0) = - |0 - 1| - 2

= - 1 - 2 = - 3

y - intercept: (0, - 3)

Vertex: (1, - 2)
