5.8 Graphing Absolute Value Functions I can graph an absolute value function and translate the graph of an absolute value function.
Absolute Value Function V-shaped graph that opens up or down Up when positive, down when negative Parent function: y = |x|
Translation Shift of a graph horizontally, vertically, or both. Same size and shape, different position
Try it. Create a table and sketch the graph of the following: y = |x| + 2 y = |x| - 3 What do you notice?
Vertical Translation Start with the graph of y = |x| y = |x| + b translates the graph up y = |x| - b translates the graph down What is the graph of y = |x| + 2?
Try this. Create a table and sketch the graph of the following: y = |x + 3| y = |x – 1| What do you notice?
Horizontal Translation Start with the graph of y = |x| y = |x + h| translates the graph to the left y = |x – h| translates the graph to the right.
