Use Absolute Value Functions and Transformations

2. Vocabulary: Axis of symmetry –
the line that identically reflects the graph.
Vertex –
Always found on the axis of symmetry
Point at which the graph changes directions

3. Graph the function.

4. Graph the function.

5. Graph the function.

6. Graph the function.

7. Graph the function.

8. Graph the function.

9. Graph the function.

10. Absolute Value in the form
Rule 1: a is the slope of the graph (towards the right)
Rule 2: (h, k) is the vertex
Rule 3: h is the opposite of what you think it is
Rule 4: If there is no number inside the absolute value with x, h = 0.
Rule 5: If there is no number behind the absolute value,
k = 0.
Rule 6: If there is no number in front of the absolute value, a = 1.
