in this problem. We're told that when a beam of light hits, a mirror is reflected off the mirror at the same angle that the incoming beam struck the mirror, which is what the picture shows. They want to know what type of function conserve as a mathematical model for the path of the light beam shown here will know this that the graph of this function kind of looks like a V. And keep in mind that the graph on absolute value function looks like a B, so an absolute value graph or an absolute value function would be the best graph use to represent this situation.
