Question

F(x) = | 3x+1 | find the vertex of value function

Answer 1

The vertex is the point
`(-(1)/(3),0)`

Explanation:

we know that

The general form of an absolute value equation is

`y=a\left|x-h\right|+k`

The variable a tells us how far the graph stretches vertically, and whether the graph opens up or down. The variables h, and k, tell us how far the graph shifts horizontally and vertically

The vertex is the point (h,k)

we have

`f(x)=\left|3x+1\right|`

Rewrite the expression (3x+1)

`(3x+1)=(3)/(3) (3x+1)=3(x+(1)/(3))`

substitute

`f(x)=\left|3(x+(1)/(3))\right|`

`f(x)=3\left|(x+(1)/(3))\right|`

`a=3\\h=-(1)/(3)\\k=0`

therefore

The vertex is the point
`(-(1)/(3),0)`
