Exploring Variables that Relate to Absolute Value Equations
Today, we learned that the standard form of an equation involving absolute value functions may take the following form:
y = a | b x + c | + d
where a, b, c and d are variables that may or may not appear in the equation. When studying absolute value equations, a and b will always be some value other that 0. Students paired up and began working on a task that will eventually be presented orally in front of the class. Students used the Absolute Value WS 4 to record their equations and findings, and also saved equations on their handheld computers, as the palms will be used during the presentations to provide a visual for all to look at.
Homework: Nothing is due on Friday, however all students are urged to work on the worksheet tonight.
