1. Identify the vertex of the absolute value function y = 2 * |x - 4| + 1 and explain how the transformations affect its position compared to the parent function y = |x|.
2. The equation y = -½ * |x + 2| + 3 represents an absolute value function. Describe how the slope affects the width of the graph and determine the range of this function.
