Absolute Value Of X Graph Math
Now you re taking the absolute value of something x 6 times a negative.
Absolute value of x graph math. Y 1 2 x 6 10. Now that the equation has been simplified to y 1 2 x 6 10 you can get to graphing. The graph of y k x is the graph of y x scaled by a factor of k. In this worked example we find the equation of an absolute value function from its graph.
When x equalled 2 then the argument that is the expression inside the bars equalled zero. F x x 2 3 in general the graph of the absolute value function f x a x h k is a v with vertex h k slope m a on the right side of the vertex x h and slope m a on the left side of the vertex x h. Because absolute value doesn t care about the sign you can effectively just remove the negative on the 1 2. When x was less than 2 the expression x 2 was less than zero and the absolute value bars flipped those minus values from below the x axis to above it.
If a 0 then the lowest y value for y a x h k is y k.
