I am asked to solve the absolute value equation of
|1/2x +1| =x+1 graphically. I can solve this algebraically and consider two cases for the absolute value one being positive and the other negative. I know this will be a straight line and when I solved it algebraically x=0 the other solution is -4/3 which is an extraneous root and does not work. How do I graph this? Thanks for your help
