### Problem 5: Graphing Functions Based On f(x) = |x|

#### Instructions
Sketch the graph of the following functions based on your knowledge of the graph of \( f(x) = |x| \).

#### (a) \( g(x) = |x - 1| + 1 \)

#### (b) \( h(x) = -|x + 3| - 2 \)

### Explanation

1. **Understanding the Basic Graph \( f(x) = |x| \)**:
   - The graph of \( f(x) = |x| \) is a V-shaped graph that opens upwards. 
   - The vertex of the graph is at the origin (0,0).
   - The graph is symmetric about the y-axis, with the left side sloping downward from the vertex and the right side sloping upward from the vertex.

2. **Transformation of \( g(x) = |x - 1| + 1 \)**:
   - **Horizontal Shift**: The term \( (x - 1) \) inside the absolute value function causes the graph to shift horizontally to the right by 1 unit.
   - **Vertical Shift**: The term \( +1 \) outside the absolute value function causes the graph to shift vertically upwards by 1 unit.
   - **Resulting Graph**: The vertex of \( g(x) \) will be at (1,1), and the graph will maintain its V-shape, opening upwards.

3. **Transformation of \( h(x) = -|x + 3| - 2 \)**:
   - **Horizontal Shift**: The term \( (x + 3) \) inside the absolute value function causes the graph to shift horizontally to the left by 3 units.
   - **Vertical Shift**: The term \( -2 \) outside the absolute value function causes the graph to shift vertically downwards by 2 units.
   - **Vertical Reflection**: The negative sign in front of the absolute value causes the graph to reflect over the x-axis, meaning it will open downwards.
   - **Resulting Graph**: The vertex of \(h(x) \) will be at (-3, -2), and the graph will maintain its V-shape but open downwards.

Graph these transformations to visualize the respective functions.
