Study Pug: 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...

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

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...

Combining the skills from the previous videos, particularly inequalities and absolute values, Sal works to solve several new sample problems. He encourages watching the video "over and over," which is good advice for mathematicians of...

Sal demonstrates how to solve an absolute value equation, keeping in mind there are two possible answers.

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,...

Graph absolute value functions like f(x)=|x+3|+2. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Instructional video provides an introduction to the absolute value function. [5:34]
