Absolute Value Transformation Project - Instructions

This document provides instructions for creating a six-page flyer about transformations of absolute value functions. The flyer will include: 1) An introduction page with the title and authors. 2) A page explaining how to identify features of absolute value functions such as the vertex and axis of symmetry. 3) A page about translating absolute value functions left or right using h. 4) A page about translating absolute value functions up or down using k. 5) A page about vertically stretching, shrinking, or reflecting absolute value functions using a. 6) A final page putting all the transformations together with an example function.

Absolute Value Transformation Project

CREATE A SIX-PAGE FLYER OF ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTION TRANSFORMATIONS

PAGE 1:
Front of Brochure

Title

Your title should be something to do with “Transformations of Absolute Value Functions”.

Feel free to add the parent function,


f(x) = |x|, or the general form,
f(x) = a|x - h| + k, to this section.

Your Name(s) and Class Period

PAGE 2:

How to Identify Features of Absolute Value Functions

The parent function is f(x) = |x|.

This section should detail how to identify features of an absolute value function using a, h, and k.

The general form is f(x) = a|x - h| + k.

 What is the vertex?


 What is the Axis of Symmetry?
 What is the slope?
 How can you tell if the graph opens up or down?
PAGE 3:

How to Translate Absolute Value Functions Left or Right

f(x) = |x| → f(x) = |x - h|

 Explain what h does to the graph.


 Provide an example function.
 State how the function is translated.
 Graph your example function.

PAGE 4:

How to Translate Absolute Value Functions Up or Down

f(x) = |x| → f(x) = |x| + k

 Explain what k does to the graph.


 Provide an example function.
 State how the function is translated.
 Graph your example function.

PAGE 5:

How to Vertically Stretch, Shrink, or Reflect Absolute Value Functions

f(x) = |x| → f(x) = a|x|

 Explain what a does to the graph.


 Provide an example function.
 State how the function is stretched or shrunk.
 Graph your example function.
PAGE 6 – FINAL PAGE:

Put It All Together!

f(x) = |x| → f(x) = a|x - h| + k

 Provide an example function.


 State how the function has been translated (left or right and by how many units) (up or down and by
how many units).
 State how the function has been vertically stretched, shrunk, or reflected.
 Graph your example function.
