Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around determining a point on the transformed graph y=3 abs(f(x))+1, given that (-3,-6) is a point on the original function y=f(x).

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore how to apply the transformation involving absolute values and scaling to the given point. Questions arise regarding whether to maintain the negative value or convert it to positive due to the absolute function.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided calculations and interpretations of the transformation, leading to a proposed point (-3, 19). There is an acknowledgment of confusion regarding the process, but clarity appears to be developing as participants engage with the mathematical reasoning.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about handling the absolute value in the transformation and whether the original negative value should be retained or altered. The discussion reflects a mix of understanding and confusion regarding the application of the transformation rules.

(-3,-6) is a point on y=f(x) determine a point on the graph y=3 abs(f(x))+1

is it

(3,3)
(3,19)
(-3,3)
(-3,19)

how do u do this one?

Is it (3,19)? I don't know am I supposed to keep the points negative or do i make them positive because of the absolute bars? If I keep the point -6 and multiply by 3 and add 1 I don't get any of these answers, SOMEONE PLZ HELP QUICK!

The answer is : (-3, 19)
you give the x=-3 and you get the 19.
 
I don't understand HOW?

.

so basically this means that when you use the value x=-3, you get the value, y=-6. So if you look at this equation, y=3*abs(f(x)) + 1, you want to plug in the value of y when x is equal to -3.

y= 3*abs(-6)+1 = 3*6+1 = 19.
So when x=-3, y= 19
 
I get it THANKS SOO MUCH
