SOLUTION
(A) This is the graph of the function y = |x| shifted both up
and to the right. Thus the formula is y = |x − 3| + 2.7.
(B) This is the graph of the function y = |x| shifted down. Thus
formula is y = |x| − 1.2.

The range is therefore 19 , +∞ , or 19 ≤ f (x) < +∞.



11. (1 point) First notice as x gets close to zero, the value of f (x) gets very
large, and in fact goes to +∞. This is because when the denom-
inator of a fraction is very small, the value of that function is
very large. The upper limit of the range is therefore +∞ (which
is never included). The function attains its smallest value of the
interval −3 ≤ x ≤ 3 at the endpoints x = −3 and x = 3, where
f (−3) = f (3) = 19 .
