The video tutorial explains the absolute value function, known as the V graph, and how it can be transformed using the formula X-H+K. The instructor details the roles of parameters A, H, and K in stretching, compressing, and shifting the graph. Examples are provided to illustrate how these transformations affect the graph's appearance, including making it skinnier through vertical stretching.
