Question

Fill in the information about the absolute value functions below.

P:S. in "Choose one" the options are "upward" and "downward"

Answer 1

• (a) Upward, Upward, Upward, Downward
• (b)
  `y=(1)/(2)|x|`
• (c)
  `y=-4|x|`

Explanation:

The graph of
`y=a|x|` opens upward if
`a>0` and downward if
`a<0`.

A smaller value of
`|a|` yields a wider graph and a larger value if
`|a|` yields a wider graph.
