Exam points

  • Sketch y=|f(x)| by reflecting the negative part of y=f(x) above the x-axis.
  • Show exact intercepts when sketching absolute-value linear or quadratic graphs.

1.4. Relate y = f(x) and y = |f(x)| question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

(a) Find the coordinates of the stationary point on the curve y=(x+3)(x-4).

On the axes, sketch the graph of y=|(x+3)(x-4)|, stating the intercepts with the axes.
