Identify the value of a real parameter \(b\)
such that the graph of the function
\[
f(x) = \left |x + \frac{1}
{2}\right | + b
\]
corresponds to the picture.
Identify the value of real parameters \(a\)
and \(b\)
such that the graph of the function
\[
f(x)= \left |x + a\right | + b
\]
corresponds to the picture.
Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is
intended to be used on both sides of the equation.
\[
\frac{4 + x}
{x + 1} = \frac{x - 3}
{x + 2}
\]
multiply by \((x + 2)\cdot (x + 1)\),
assuming \(x\neq - 2\)
and \(x\neq - 1\)
multiply by \((4 + x)\cdot (x - 3)\),
assuming \(x\neq - 4\)
and \(x\neq 3\)
multiply by \((4 + x)\cdot (x + 1)\),
assuming \(x\neq - 4\)
and \(x\neq - 1\)
multiply by \((x - 3)\cdot (x + 2)\),
assuming \(x\neq 3\)
and \(x\neq - 2\)
