The image of Y = (x+ 1/2) 2- 1/4 is obtained by moving Y = x 2 to the left 1/2, and then moving down 1/4.
After adding the absolute value, the part below the X axis is symmetrical with the part above the X axis.
The image is:
The second y=|2x-4| is y=2x, moving down by 4 units. When y
The third y=|2x+4| is y=2x, and it moves up by 4 units when y < =0 is symmetrical with X, as shown in the figure:
