Question

given the function f(x)=-|x+5|+12 on your graphing calculator, what is the most appropriate viewing window to see the graph?

Answer 1

B) would be the most appropriate viewing window.

The graph of this function is shifted up 12 units from the parent graph; thus we need our y-value to go up past 10. This eliminates a and d.

The graph is also shifted to the right 5 units. This means we need to go past 5 on the x-axis to see the entire graph. This eliminates choice c, leaving us with b.
