# 4.2 Transformation of graphs by modulus function  (Page 3/4)

 Page 3 / 4

From the point of construction of the graph of y=|f(x)|, we need to modify the graph of y=f(x) as :

(i) take the mirror image of lower half of the graph in x-axis

(ii) remove lower half of the graph

This completes the construction for y=|f(x)|.

Problem : Draw graph of $y=|\mathrm{cos}x|$ .

Solution : We first draw the graph of $y=\mathrm{cos}x$ . Then, we take the mirror image of lower half of the graph in x-axis and remove lower half of the graph to complete the construction of graph of $y=|\mathrm{cos}x|$

Problem : Draw graph of $y=|{x}^{2}-2x-3|$

Solution : We first draw graph $y={x}^{2}-2x-3$ . The roots of corresponding quadratic equation are -1 and 3. After plotting graph of quadratic function, we take the mirror image of lower half of the graph in x-axis and remove lower half of the graph to complete the construction of graph of $y=|{x}^{2}-2x-3|$

Problem : Draw graph of $y=|{\mathrm{log}}_{10}x|$ .

Solution : We first draw graph $y={\mathrm{log}}_{10}x$ . Then, we take the mirror image of lower half of the graph in x-axis and remove lower half of the graph to complete the construction of graph of $y=|{\mathrm{log}}_{10}x|$ .

## Modulus function applied to dependent variable

The form of transformation is depicted as :

$y=f\left(x\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}⇒\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}|y|=f\left(x\right)$

As discussed in the beginning of module, value of function is first calculated for a given value of x. The value so evaluated is assigned to the modulus function |y|. We interpret assignment to |y| in accordance with the interpretation of equality of the modulus function to a value. In this case, we know that :

$|y|=f\left(x\right);f\left(x\right)>0\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}⇒\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}y=±f\left(x\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}$

$|y|=f\left(x\right);f\left(x\right)=0\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}⇒\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}y=0$

$|y|=f\left(x\right);f\left(x\right)<0\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}⇒\text{Modulus can not be equated to negative value. No solution}$

Clearly, we need to neglect all negative values of f(x). For every positive value of f(x), there are two values of dependent expressions -f(x) and f(x). It means that we need to take image of upper part of the graph across x-axis. This is image in x-axis.

From the point of construction of the graph of |y|=f(x), we need to modify the graph of y=f(x) as :

1 : remove lower half of the graph

2 : take the mirror image of upper half of the graph in x-axis

This completes the construction for |y|=f(x).

Problem : Draw graph of $|y|=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-3\right)$ .

Solution : We first draw the graph of quadratic function given by $y=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-3\right)$ . Then, we remove lower half of the graph and take mirror image of upper half of the graph in x-axis to complete the construction of graph of $|y|=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-3\right)$ .

Problem : Draw graph of $|y|={\mathrm{tan}}^{-1}x$ .

Solution : We first draw the graph of function given by $y={\mathrm{tan}}^{-1}x$ . Then, we remove lower half of the graph and take mirror image of upper half of the graph in x-axis to complete the construction of graph of $y={\mathrm{tan}}^{-1}x$ .

Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net

what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology
NANO
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?

how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
