How do the slopes of the two parts of an absolute value function compare?
the graph of y = |x| (absolute value of x) looks like a V with the point of the V at the origin. When x is negative (left half of graph), the line y = -x coincides with |x| so this half has a slope of -1. When x is positive (right half of graph), the line y = x coincides with |x| so this half has a slope of +1.
Is x less than or equal to the absolute value of x?
It depents from the value of x.If x>0 then, |x|=xIf x
What do the absolute value of a function do to the graph of that function?
The absolute value of a function changes the original function by ensuring that any negative y values will in essence be positive. For instance, the function y = absolute value (x) will yield the value +1 when x equals -1. Graphically, this function will look like a "V".
Why For x less than 0 the absolute value of x equals negative x please explain?
That is how the absolute value is defined. For x < 0 the value of x is negative (by definition). Therefore, the value of negative x is positive (negative of a negative). So abs(x) = -x when x < 0
Choose the absolute value equation or inequality whose solution matches the graph -9 and 9 are plotted closed circle on the graph. Is it x equals 9 or x equals -9 or x greater than or equal to 9?
x=9
