Transformations of Absolute Value Functions

• Left 3

• Right 3

• Up 3

• Down 3

Answer explanation

The value inside the absolute value bars is the left/right movement. You must change the sign inside. After changing the sign, if the value is positive, it shifts right. If the value is negative, it shifts left.

• Right 7

• Up 7

• Down 7

Answer explanation

The value outside of the absolute value bars is the up/down movement. You keep the sign. If the value is positive, it shifts up. If the value is negative, it shifts down.

• f(x) opens up (has a minimum) while

  g(x) opens down (has a maximum)

• f(x) opens down (has a maximum) while

  g(x) opens up (has a minimum)

• There is no difference

Answer explanation

A negative sign in front of the absolute value bars means the graph opens down (has a maximum).

No sign in front of the absolute value bars means the graph opens up (has a minimum).
