It's easier if you think what transformation brings |x| to 2 - |x|.

I figured it out

Yes, nice!

But this one is confusing me

Again, try to think of the transformation thst brings |x| to |x + 3|.

So basically, if in the absolute value, the constant is a positive you move to the left and start with a high negative

with absolute values there are two standard models: one where y=f(|x|)

#

one where y=|f(x)|
