Learn to use absolute value functions and their transformations, including graphing tips. Understand how to identify points on the graph, determine the opening direction based on the value of 'a', and apply translations horizontally and vertically. Discover how to graph step functions using multiple equations for different domain sections.

Algebra II 2.7: Use Absolute Value Functions and Transformations HW: p.127 (4-20 even)
How to Graph • Identify points on the graph • If a is positive the V will open up. • If a is negative the V will open down. • Translate the graph horizontally h units and vertically k units.

What is a piecewise function? • At least two equations, each of which applies to a different part of the function’s domain.
Evaluate the function g(x) above: • A.) x = 1 • B.) x = 5
