Coolmath: Advanced Graphing Absolute Value Functions

What is absolute value? What is an absolute value function? Emerging mathematicians solve equations containing variables inside an absolute value sign.  They graph each function on a coordinate plane and identify the maximum and...

Show your class members that if they can graph a linear function, they can graph an absolute value function. Groups create an absolute value graph using a table, then entertain the idea of an absolute value function defined as two...

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II instructional activity makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through...

One of the strongest tools an algebra learner develops is the ability to quickly and accurately graph almost any given function. Often doing this quickly and accurately requires rigid transformations to a parent function,...

Sal reviews absolute value equations by taking viewers through a careful and deliberate problem-solving process. Those who didn't thoroughly understand absolute value during class will appreciate Sal's steady and straightforward...

Introduces the basic technique for graphing absolute-value functions, and illustrates a common mistake.

Students learn about absolute value functions. The learning exercise consists of examples and an assessment on how to graph absolute value functions.

The sole purpose of this interactive is to graph a function representing the distance of a car from a shoe store. Scholars use an interactive to graph such an absolute value function. They then answer a set of challenge questions...

Translate an absolute value equation, horizontally and vertically. First, what is the form of an absolute value equation? There are several variables that represent specific pieces in this equation. Vertical, horizontal, constant,...
