The real absolute value function is continuous everywhere. It is differentiable everywhere except for x = 0.

Introduces the basic technique for graphing absolute-value functions, and illustrates a common mistake. Taking the absolute value of a negative number makes it positive. For this reason, graphs of absolute value functions tend not to look quite like the graphs of linear functions that you've already studied.

Explore Graphs of Absolute Value Functions of the form |f(x)|. Compare the graphs of f(x) and |f(x)|. Set b and c to zero and select a positive value for a to obtain a quadratic function . Why are the two graphs the same? (Hint: use the definition of the absolute value functions).

Explains absolute values in plain terms, and discusses notation, concepts, and common mistakes. The concept of absolute value has many uses, but you probably won't see anything interesting for a few more classes yet. There is a technical definition for absolute value, but you could easily never need it. For now,

This lesson covers graphing functions by plotting points as well as finding the domain and range of a function after it has been graphed. Graphs are important in giving a visual representation of the correlation between two variables. This function is an absolute value function, so its graph will be a v shape.

This sections illustrates the process of solving equations of various forms. It also shows you how to check your answer three different ways: algebraically, graphically, and using the concept of equivalence.The following table is a EQUATIONS CONTAINING ABSOLUTE VALUE(S) - Solve for x in the following equations.
