11. To write an absolute value function as a piecewise function, following the steps below: Step 1: Identify the vertex of the function Step 2: Determine if the function opens upward or downward. Step 3: Identify the rate of change to the right and left of the vertex. Step 4: Use the rate of change for each portion of the graph to write a linear equation. Step 5: Simplify each linear equation and write your solution as a piecewise defined function.
