Understanding Absolute Value Functions

This video tutorial covers the process of connecting different representations of functions, focusing on the absolute value function H(T) = |T|. It guides viewers through completing a table of values, graphing the function, and describing the relationship between inputs and outputs. The graph is characterized as V-shaped, a typical property of absolute value functions. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the function's behavior and its graphical representation.

What is the formula used in this lesson to complete the table?

• H(T) = T + 3

• H(T) = |T|

• H(T) = T^2

• H(T) = T - 2
