The Absolute Value Function and Other Absolute Value Graphs

On Tuesday we learned how to graph Absolute Value Functions!

Basic shape: f(x) = lxl Shifted Shape: f(x) = lx-hl+k

To graph any absolute value function you may use "the table of values" to graph your function. Just remember it becomes a positive when it comes out of the brackets if its a negative. Example
l -1 l becomes 1.

Here is an example of using the Table of Values, which you should already know how to do!















The other way of graphing which by

1.Graphing Original Function
2.Shifting
3.Reflecting the -y's to positive y's to get your final product
