Graphing an absolute function with compression

The video tutorial explains how to graph an absolute value function, focusing on creating a table of values, plotting points, and understanding the vertex. It discusses graph compression and reflection, and concludes with determining the domain and range of the function.

What is the first step recommended when graphing an absolute value function?

• Identify the axis of symmetry

• Determine the domain and range

• Create a table of values

• Find the vertex of the function

What does the coefficient inside the absolute value function affect?

• The domain of the function

• The compression or extension of the graph

• The vertex position

• The direction of the graph

How does a negative sign inside the absolute value function affect the graph?

• It reflects the graph over the X-axis

• It compresses the graph

• It shifts the graph upwards

• It reflects the graph over the Y-axis

What is the domain of an absolute value function?

• From negative infinity to zero

• From zero to positive infinity

• From negative infinity to positive infinity

• From zero to one

What is the range of the absolute value function discussed in the tutorial?

• From negative infinity to positive infinity

• From negative infinity to zero

• From zero to one

• From zero to positive infinity
