How was this the correct answer? I thought the answer you gave was accurate as well.
![### Transformation of the Absolute Value Function
**Graph Explanation:**
The graph provided is a modification of the function \( f(x) = |x| \).
- The original function \( f(x) = |x| \) is an absolute value function, which forms a symmetric V-shape with its vertex at the origin (0,0).
- In the transformed graph, the vertex of the V-shape has moved to the point (-1, 1).
**Finding the Equation:**
The transformed function can be found by identifying the changes made to the original absolute value function.
**Vertical and Horizontal Shifts:**
- The horizontal shift: The transformation shifts the vertex of the graph one unit to the left, which suggests \( x \) is replaced by \( x + 1 \) inside the absolute value.
- The vertical shift: The transformation shifts the vertex of the graph one unit upwards, which suggests adding 1 to the entire function.
Given these transformations, the transformed function is:
\[ g(x) = |x + 1| + 1 \]
**Validation of Equation:**
The provided options include two functions. The function that matches the transformations is:
\[ \boxed{|x + 1| + 1} \]
The incorrect option is:
\[ \frac{1}{2}|x + 1| + 1 \]
Hence, the correct equation for the transformed function is \( g(x) = |x + 1| + 1 \).](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/90d1e96e-989a-4849-aeb9-585c1e797a4d/92f3093b-4a0b-4fcd-bb86-e26d68bb877d/8uudp8j_thumbnail.png)
