Math 20-1 Lesson 2: Absolute Value Functions

In Lesson 2 of our Absolute Value Functions and Equations unit, we learn about absolute value functions and how to graph and analyze them. Absolute value functions create V-shaped graphs and can be transformed in different ways. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to: • Graph absolute value functions • Identify the vertex of the graph • Determine the axis of symmetry • Analyze domain and range • Understand transformations of absolute value graphs • Describe translations, reflections, and stretches This lesson builds the foundation for solving absolute value equations and inequalities later in the unit. Perfect for: ✔ Math 20-1 students ✔ Absolute value unit review ✔ Test preparation ✔ Diploma exam prep
