7. Graphing Absolute Value Functions
Sign In
To graph the functions without going through the entire process of transforming the parent function, we can make two tables of values. Then, we only need to plot and connect the obtained points and compare the graphs.
Let's begin with creating a table of values of function h(x).
x | ∣x+5∣ | Simplify | h(x) |
---|---|---|---|
-5 | ∣-5+5∣ | ∣0∣ | 0 |
-3 | ∣-3+5∣ | ∣2∣ | 2 |
-1 | ∣-1+5∣ | ∣4∣ | 4 |
1 | ∣1+5∣ | ∣6∣ | 6 |
