How to graph absolute value functions using standard form

The video tutorial explains how to graph absolute value functions using transformations. It covers the process of identifying the vertex and using the slope to plot the graph. The tutorial demonstrates graphing two different absolute value equations, emphasizing the importance of understanding transformations and using a table of values to ensure accuracy.

What is the role of the vertex in graphing absolute value functions?

• It determines the slope of the graph.

• It indicates the maximum value of the function.

• It defines the y-intercept of the graph.

• It is the point where the graph changes direction.

How does the parameter 'H' affect the graph of an absolute value function?

• It reflects the graph over the x-axis.

• It shifts the graph horizontally.

• It changes the slope of the graph.

• It shifts the graph vertically.

In the first equation, what does a negative 'A' value indicate?

• The graph is shifted to the right.

• The graph opens upwards.

• The graph is shifted downwards.

• The graph is reflected over the x-axis.

For the second equation, what is the effect of the parameter 'K'?

• It reflects the graph over the y-axis.

• It shifts the graph vertically.

• It changes the slope of the graph.

• It shifts the graph horizontally.

Why is it important to use a broad range of values in a table when graphing absolute value functions?

• To capture both sides of the vertex accurately.

• To make the graph steeper.

• To simplify the graphing process.

• To ensure the graph is centered at the origin.
