Graphing Absolute Value Functions

The video tutorial explains how to graph absolute value functions using a T chart. It begins with an introduction to the function F of X and its graph, focusing on quadrants one and two. The concept of absolute value is explained, highlighting common misunderstandings. The tutorial then demonstrates how to graph absolute value functions, resulting in a V-shaped graph. Finally, the function F of X is graphed using a T chart, showing an inverse V shape due to the negative coefficient. The video concludes with a summary of the graphing process.
