See the explanation please.

Explanation:

Given:

#color(brown)(f(x) = |x|)#

#color(brown)(h(x) = 2*|x|+2)#

Our Parent Function is #color(brown)(y=f(x) = |x|)#

Let us know focus on how the transformation

#color(brown)(h(x) = 2*|x|+2)#

will affect our Parent Graph given below:

Our function #color(brown)(h(x) = 2*|x|+2)# has a general format:

#color(blue)(y= f(x)= +-a*|x|+b)#

If, #color(green)(a>1)#, then the graph will go through a Vertical Stretch.

If, #color(green)(0 < a < 1)#, then the graph will go through a Vertical Compression.

If, #color(green)(" "b" " is" " Positive#, then the graph will shift up buy #b# units.

If, #color(green)(" "b" " is" " Negative#, then the graph will shift down buy #b# units.

Analyze the graph below to observe how the transformation

#color(brown)(h(x) = 2*|x|+2)#

is affecting our Parent Graph:
