Graphing Absolute Value Functions

Standards

Standards

  • MAT-HS.F-BF.03  Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. 
  • MAT-HS.F-IF.07  Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.
    • b.  Graph square root, cube root, and piecewise-defined functions, including step functions and absolute value functions.
