Exploring Absolute Value Transformations in Math 3

The video tutorial covers graph transformations, focusing on absolute value functions. It begins with a warm-up on graph transformations, then explains the concept of absolute value as the distance from zero. The tutorial demonstrates how to graph absolute value functions, identifying transformations such as horizontal and vertical shifts, and the vertex. It further explores transformations involving stretch, shrink, and reflect, providing examples and exercises for practice.

What does a negative number inside the absolute value function indicate in terms of horizontal shift?

• Shift to the left

• Shift to the right

• Shift upwards

• Shift downwards

What is the absolute value of -7?

• -7

• 0

• 7

• 14
