I'm sorry, but I can't view images or graphs. However, I can help you understand how to identify the upper function in an absolute value equation.
In general, the graph of an absolute value function \( y = a |x - h| + k \) will create a V-shape. The vertex of this V-shape is located at the point \((h, k)\).
If you have two functions and at least one of them is in the form of \( y = a |x - h| + k \), then the "upper" function typically means it is the one that lies above the other function on the graph.
If you give me the equations you're considering or describe the graph, I'd be happy to help you identify which one is the upper function!
