Graphing Absolute Value Functions

Get to graphing and figure out the solution between two lines using this 14-problem worksheet. Graphs are provided for the first eight problems, but requires learners to graph the remaining six separately.

Once you know how to graph y = b^x, the sky's the limit. Young mathematicians learn to graph basic exponential functions and identify key features, and then graph functions of the form f(x) = ab^(x – h) + k from the function f(x) = b^x.

What is the best method to overcome negativity? Remember your absolute value! An informative video starts with an explanation of what absolute value is and its connection to measurement. It goes on to solve sample problems to help...

Graphing functions by hand is pretty easy. A comprehensive video reviews how to graph different function types. It looks at the constant, identity, quadratic, cubic, absolute value, square root, cube root, reciprocal, and squared...

Number 11 in the practice section of The Official SAT Study Guide begins with finding the perimeter of a given triangle. Once students solve this multiple-choice question, they can find ways to solve the additional problems on the page,...

Intersections become solutions. Scholars watch a video on using a graphing calculator to find the solution to an equation in one variable. While watching the presentation, pupils practice working some of the examples and compare their...

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...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

Working independently or in teams, your class practices connecting graphs, formulas and words. This lesson includes a guided discussion about distance vs. time graphs and looking at how velocity changes over time.
