Q:

Which absolute value function has a graph that is wider than the parent function, f(x) = |x|, and is translated to the right 2 units?Which absolute value function has a graph that is wider than the parent function, f(x) = |x|, and is translated to the right 2 units?f(x) = 1.3|x| – 2f(x) = 3|x – 2|f(x) = 3/4 |x – 2|f(x) = 4/3 |x| + 2

Accepted Solution

A:
Case 1:  If we multiply f(x) = |x| by a fraction greater than zero and less than 1, the width of the resulting graph will increase.  If the vertex of the original function is moved 2 units to the right, then we'd replace |x| with |x-2|  Only the coefficient (3/4) satisfies the "wider graph" requirement here.
