absolute number

-

if we say |x| , it goes to :

|x| = x if x ≥ 0

|x| = -x if x < 0

___

the case of y = -|x - 3| + 2 is same !

Let's see |x - 3|,

|x - 3| = x - 3 if x ≥ 3

|x - 3| = -(x - 3) if x < 3

so, we get :

y = -(-(x - 3)) + 2 = x - 1 if x < 3

y = - (x - 3) + 2 = -x + 5 if x ≥ 3

____ thanks !
