5 Follow-Up Questions:
- What happens to the graph of when you multiply it by a constant, like in ?
- How do vertical and horizontal translations affect the vertex of an absolute value function?
- Could you describe the vertex form of an absolute value function and how to identify transformations?
- How would you combine multiple transformations (e.g., translation and reflection) in one equation?
- What practical situations could these transformations represent, such as scaling or translating absolute value graphs?
Tip:
When working with absolute value functions, always identify changes to the vertex caused by horizontal and vertical shifts to better understand the transformation.
