Absolute Value Functions and Graphs

Objective:

I can graph an absolute value function

by performing transformations on the

parent function

f

x

x

Oct 123:15 PM

Vocabulary

· The function f(x) = |x| is an absolute value function.

· The highest or lowest point on the graph of an

absolute value function is called the vertex.

An axis of symmetry of the graph of a function is a

vertical line that divides the graph into mirror images.

An absolute value graph has one axis of symmetry

that passes through the vertex.

Building the Absolute Value Function

The absolute value function is

defined by f (

x ) = |

x |.

Oct 123:30 PM

This is the absolute value parent function.

Table

x

y

f(x)=lxl

Translation

A translation is a

transformation

that shifts a graph

horizontally or

vertically, but

doesn’t change

the overall shape

or orientation.

Multiple Transformations

In general, the graph of an absolute value function

of the form

y

a

x

h

k

can involve

translations, reflections, stretches or compressions.

To graph an absolute value function, start by

identifying the vertex

Example 1

Graph the following function without making a table.

y = | x – 2| + 3

Vertex

How does this graph move?

Did this graph stretch or compress?

(slope of 1)
