7. Graphing Absolute Value Functions
Sign In
Create two tables of values and then plot the graphs on the same coordinate plane.

Comparison: See solution.
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 ordered pairs we find.
Let's begin with creating a table of values for a.
x | ∣x+2∣+3 | a(x) |
---|---|---|
-3 | ∣-3+2∣+3 | 4 |
-1 | ∣-1+2∣+3 | 4 |
1 | ∣1+2∣+3 | 6 |
3 | ∣3+2∣+3 | 8 |
