What do you need to know to graph absolute value inequalities

This video tutorial explains how to graph absolute value inequalities. It begins with the basics of graphing absolute value equations using transformations, such as shifting, reflecting, and dilating. The tutorial then emphasizes the importance of determining test points, which help identify whether points on the graph are part of the solution. It explains how to use test points, like (0,0), to decide where to shade on the graph, depending on whether the test point satisfies the inequality. The video concludes with a summary of the key concepts needed to graph absolute value inequalities effectively.

What is the first step in graphing absolute value inequalities?

• Shading the graph

• Understanding how to graph absolute value equations

• Identifying the inequality symbol

• Choosing test points

Why is it important to determine test points when graphing inequalities?

• To find the vertex of the graph

• To decide whether points on the graph are part of the solution

• To calculate the slope of the line

• To determine the axis of symmetry

How should points that are part of the solution be graphed?

• As a solid line

• As a dashed line

• With a thicker line

• With a different color

What is the best test point to use when graphing inequalities?

• (1,1)

• (-1,-1)

• (0,0)

• (2,2)

What should you do if the test point is valid for the inequality?

• Do not shade the graph

• Shade the entire graph

• Shade below the graph

• Shade above the graph
