Week 12 – Math 11 – Graphing absolute values

in this week we learned how to graph absolute values

for the first example a linear line y=|x+3|

so first you just graph the parent function y=x+3

when it touches the x-intercept it has to go back up because it always has to stay positive

the right side stays the same because it’s positive and the left side just flips making a v shape

we also learned the absolute value of parabolas, for example, y=|x^2 -3|

so you want to draw the parent function again and just flip the negative parts so they are positive making a w shape
