Transcribed Image Text:**Instruction to Solve the Problem: Finding the Vertex and Range of the Function**
**Problem:**
What is the vertex and range of \( y = |x + 3| + 2 \)?
**Solution:**
1. **Identify the Function Type:**
- The function is an absolute value function, which has the general form \( y = |x - h| + k \).
2. **Determine the Vertex:**
- In the function \( y = |x + 3| + 2 \), rewrite it in the form \( y = |x - (-3)| + 2 \) to identify \( h \) and \( k \).
- The vertex of the function is at \( (h, k) = (-3, 2) \).
3. **Find the Range:**
- The standard form \( y = |x - h| + k \) indicates that the vertex is the minimum value point for the function, provided the coefficient of the absolute value is positive.
- In this case, the minimum value of \( y \) is 2, when \( x = -3 \).
- Since the vertex is the lowest point on the graph of \( y = |x + 3| + 2 \), the range is \( y \geq 2 \).
**Summary:**
- **Vertex:** \((-3, 2)\)
- **Range:** \(y \geq 2\)
