Answer

(a) The graph of $y = f(\vert x \vert)$ is the same as the graph of $f$ for the values of $x$ such that $x\geq 0$. For the values of $x$ such that $x \lt 0$, the graph of $y = f(\vert x \vert)$ is reflected about the y-axis. (b) We can see the graph of $y = sin~\vert x \vert$ below. (c) We can see the graph of $y = \sqrt{\vert x \vert}$ below.

Work Step by Step

(a) The graph of $y = f(\vert x \vert)$ is the same as the graph of $f$ for the values of $x$ such that $x\geq 0$. For the values of $x$ such that $x \lt 0$, the graph of $y = f(\vert x \vert)$ is reflected about the y-axis. The graph of $y = f(\vert x \vert)$ is symmetric about the y-axis. (b) We can see the graph of $y = sin~\vert x \vert$ below. Note the symmetry about the y-axis. (c) We can see the graph of $y = \sqrt{\vert x \vert}$ below. Note the symmetry about the y-axis.
