Identify the function that has a vertex of (2,-1) and is stretched vertically by a factor of 3. f(x) = ⅓|x - 2| - 1 f(x) = |x - 2| + 4 f(x) = ⅓|x + 2| - 1 f(x) = 3|x - 2| - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the function that has a vertex of (2,-1) and is stretched vertically by a factor of 3.

The option are absolute function, So the parent function is y=|x|

Vertex form of absolute function is

where (h,k) is the vertex

vertex of (2,-1) h=2, k =-1

the function becomes

function is stretched vertically by a factor of 3

when f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 'a'.We multiply the factor with f(x)

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
