Objective Graph and transform absolute-value functions.
Vocabulary absolute-value function
An absolute-value function is a function whose rule contains an absolute-value expression. The graph of the parent absolute-value function f(x) = |x| has a V shape with a minimum point or vertex at (0, 0).
The absolute-value parent function is composed of two linear pieces, one with a slope of –1 and one with a slope of 1. In Lesson 2-6, you transformed linear functions. You can also transform absolute-value functions.
Remember! The general forms for translations are Vertical: g(x) = f(x) + k Horizontal: g(x) = f(x– h)
Example 1A: Translating Absolute-Value Functions Perform the transformation on f(x) = |x|. Then graph the transformed function g(x). 5 units down f(x) = |x| g(x) = f(x) + k g(x) = |x| – 5 Substitute. The graph of g(x) = |x| – 5 is the graph of f(x) = |x| after a vertical shift of 5 units down. The vertex of g(x) is (0, –5).
Example 1A Continued The graph of g(x) = |x|– 5 is the graph of f(x) = |x| after a vertical shift of 5 units down. The vertex of g(x) is (0, –5). f(x) g(x)
Example 1B: Translating Absolute-Value Functions Perform the transformation on f(x) = |x|. Then graph the transformed function g(x). 1 unit left f(x) = |x| g(x) = f(x– h) g(x) = |x – (–1)| = |x + 1| Substitute.
Example 1B Continued The graph of g(x) = |x + 1| is the graph of f(x) = |x| after a horizontal shift of 1 unit left. The vertex of g(x) is (–1, 0). f(x) g(x)
Check It Out! Example 1a Let g(x) be the indicated transformation of f(x) = |x|. Write the rule for g(x) and graph the function. 4 units down f(x) = |x| g(x) = f(x) + k g(x) = |x| – 4 Substitute.
Check It Out! Example 1a Continued The graph of g(x) = |x| – 4 is the graph of f(x) = |x| after a vertical shift of 4 units down. The vertex of g(x) is (0, –4). f(x) g(x)
Check It Out! Example 1b Perform the transformation on f(x) = |x|. Then graph the transformed function g(x). 2 units right f(x) = |x| g(x) = f(x– h) g(x) = |x – 2| = |x –2| Substitute.
Check It Out! Example 1b Continued The graph of g(x) = |x – 2| is the graph of f(x) = |x| after a horizontal shift of 2 units right. The vertex of g(x) is (2, 0). f(x) g(x)
Because the entire graph moves when shifted, the shift from f(x) = |x| determines the vertex of an absolute-value graph.
Example 2: Translations of an Absolute-Value Function Translate f(x) = |x|so that the vertex is at (–1, –3). Then graph. g(x) = |x – h| + k g(x) = |x – (–1)| + (–3) Substitute. g(x) = |x + 1| – 3
Example 2 Continued The graph of g(x) = |x + 1| – 3 is the graph of f(x) = |x| after a vertical shift down 3 units and a horizontal shift left 1 unit. f(x) The graph confirms that the vertex is (–1, –3). g(x)
Check It Out! Example 2 Translate f(x) = |x| so that the vertex is at (4, –2). Then graph. g(x) = |x –h| + k g(x) = |x – 4| + (–2) Substitute. g(x) = |x –4| – 2
f(x) g(x) Check It Out! Example 2 Continued The graph of g(x) = |x – 4| – 2 is the graph of f(x) = |x| after a vertical down shift 2 units and a horizontal shift right 4 units. The graph confirms that the vertex is (4, –2).
Remember! Remember! Reflection across x-axis: g(x) = –f(x) Reflection across y-axis: g(x) = f(–x) Vertical stretch and compression : g(x) = af(x) Horizontal stretch and compression: g(x) = f Absolute-value functions can also be stretched, compressed, and reflected.
Example 3A: Transforming Absolute-Value Functions Perform the transformation. Then graph. Reflect the graph. f(x) =|x –2| + 3 across the y-axis. g(x) = f(–x) Take the opposite of the input value. g(x) = |(–x) – 2| + 3
g f Example 3A Continued The vertex of the graph g(x) = |–x – 2| + 3 is (–2, 3).
Example 3B: Transforming Absolute-Value Functions Stretch the graph. f(x) = |x| – 1 vertically by a factor of 2. g(x) = af(x) g(x) = 2(|x| – 1) Multiply the entire function by 2. g(x) = 2|x| – 2
f(x) g(x) Example 3B Continued The graph of g(x) = 2|x| – 2 is the graph of f(x) = |x| – 1 after a vertical stretch by a factor of 2. The vertex of g is at (0, –2).
