Question 10 • Mathematics II

Which graph represents the function p times x is equal to start absolute value x minus 1 end absolute value ?

Answer
A
Image with description On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (negative 1, 0).
B
Image with description On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, negative 1).
C
Image with description On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, 1).
D
Image with description On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (1, 0).

Explanation

The function is p(x) = |x − 1|. The graph of |x| has its vertex at (0, 0), and subtracting 1 inside the absolute value shifts the graph 1 unit to the right. Therefore, the vertex is (1, 0), matching choice D.
