Graph x^2+(y- square root of |x|)^2=1

$x^{2} + {(y - \sqrt{| x |})}^{2} = 1$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $x^{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

$y^{2} - 2 y \sqrt{| x |} + | x | = 1 - x^{2}$

Subtract $| x |$ from both sides of the equation.

$y^{2} - 2 y \sqrt{| x |} = 1 - x^{2} - | x |$

Step 2

Find the absolute value vertex. In this case, the vertex for $y^{2} - 2 y \sqrt{| x |} = 1 - x^{2} - | x |$ is $(0, 1)$ .

To find the $x$ coordinate of the vertex, set the inside of the absolute value $x$ equal to $0$ . In this case, $x = 0$ .

$x = 0$

Replace the variable $x$ with $0$ in the expression.

$y = 1 - {(0)}^{2} - | 0 |$

Simplify $1 - {(0)}^{2} - | 0 |$ .

Simplify each term.

Raising $0$ to any positive power yields $0$ .

$y = 1 - 0 - | 0 |$

Multiply $- 1$ by $0$ .

$y = 1 + 0 - | 0 |$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $0$ is $0$ .

$y = 1 + 0 - 0$

Multiply $- 1$ by $0$ .

$y = 1 + 0 + 0$

Simplify by adding numbers.

Add $1$ and $0$ .

$y = 1 + 0$

Add $1$ and $0$ .

$y = 1$

The absolute value vertex is $(0, 1)$ .

$(0, 1)$

Step 3

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.

Interval Notation:

$(- \infty, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

${x | x \in ℝ}$

Step 4

For each $x$ value, there is one $y$ value. Select a few $x$ values from the domain. It would be more useful to select the values so that they are around the $x$ value of the absolute value vertex.

Substitute the $x$ value $- 2$ into $f (x) = 1 - x^{2} - | x |$ . In this case, the point is $(- 2, - 5)$ .

The absolute value can be graphed using the points around the vertex $(0, 1), (- 2, - 5), (- 1, - 1), (1, - 1), (2, - 5)$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ - 2 & - 5 \\ - 1 & - 1 \\ 0 & 1 \\ 1 & - 1 \\ 2 & - 5 \end{array}$
