Which statement best describes a method that can be used to sketch the graph.

y = |x + 1|
a.
translate the graph of y = |x| one unit up.
b.
translate the graph of y = |x| one unit down.
c.
translate the graph of y = |x| one unit left.
d.
translate the graph of y = |x| one unit right.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Function transformations are easy to do when you remember four rules:

adding or subtracting in the function moves it left and rightadding or subtracting outside the function moves it up or downmultiplying and dividing to the function stretches or compresses it

Here y= |x+1| so this would be a translation of one unit to the left. Within the function addition moves it to the left and subtraction moves it to the left.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
