What's on the worksheet

  1. Rewrite each rule in vertex form and give the axis of symmetry and the y-intercept.
    y = |6 - 2x|y = -\dfrac{1}{2}|4x + 8| + 3y = |-3x - 9| - 1y = 5 - \dfrac{1}{3}|3x - 12|
  2. Find the vertex and rule of a V from the lines its two arms lie on.
  3. Reflect the graph of f across each axis and write the new rules.
  4. Explore the family of graphs with a changing stretch factor: the shared point and more.
  5. Write the rule of the absolute value graph shown in the figure.
  6. Sketch a limited portion of the graph, mark key points and give the range.
