Finishing Up With Absolute Value

We looked at the characteristics of the absolute value function and agreed that it has the look of a "V". Depending on the other parts of the function, we found that the location of the "V" can move up or down on the coordinate grid, as well as left or right. It can also flip over in certain cases. Some students determined that they did not select enough data points to come up with the "V" shape on the graph.
