What is sketching the modulus of a function?
Show answer
To sketch y=f(x)y = |\mathrm{f}(x)|, first sketch y=f(x)y = \mathrm{f}(x), then reflect any part below the xx-axis up to above it. Parts already at or above the axis are unchanged. The result is never negative and has a sharp corner wherever the original graph crossed the axis.
What is q1?
Show answer
Sketch y=3xy = |3 - x|, marking the corner and intercepts. [2 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
Solve 2x+1=7|2x + 1| = 7. [2 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
Solve the inequality x32|x - 3| \leq 2. [2 marks]
