How would applying the transformation |𝑓(𝑥)| change the graph? Why?
Sketch the new graph.
What is an equation for the portion of the graph that did not change?
What is an equation for the portion of the graph that did change?
At what point do these two graphs meet and how can it help us determine
domain?
How could we model this new graph, 𝑓(𝑥) = |𝑥 − 3|, as a piecewise function?
Explain.
C. Rewrite the following absolute value functions as piecewise functions. Graph if necessary.
