Question

Which function is a translation of the parent absolute value function?

A: f(x) = 2/1
B. f(x) = |x+61
C. f(x) = x1
D. f(x) = -4/41

Answer 1

B. f(x) = | x + 61 |

Explanation:

An absolute value function is known by single vertical parenthesis demarcating the equation on both sides.

The only option with this indication is option B.

B. f(x) = | x + 61 |

This equation can be solved in two ways;

first; f(x) = - (x + 61)

second; f(x) = x + 61
