PLEEAASSE HELP ME. IM ABOUT TO GET A REALLY BAD GRADE AND MY PARENTS WILL GET SO MAD I REALLY NEED HELK PLEASW

An absolute value graph looks like a V. If the number attached to the x is positive, then the graph opens upwards. If the number attached to the x is negative, then the graph opens downwards.

In this case, the graph opens downwards.

To find the vertex, look at the |x - 1| part of the equation. This tells us that x is shifted 1 to the right (opposite of the sign). And, the 3 outside of the absolute value bars tells us that the graph is also shifted up 3. Therefore, the vertex is (1, 3).

Next, we need to figure out how to graph it. That's where the -2 in front comes in. We know the graph faces downwards already. So, from the vertex, we will go down 2 spaces and left or right 1 depending on the side you are working on. Continue this pattern just like you would graphing the slope of a regular line, but this one is two sided.

If you need to view the graph for further help, I would recommend an online graphing calculator such as Desmos.

Hope this helps!

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form
