Study Notes
Types of Functions
- Absolute Value Function: Represented as (y = |x|), produces a "V" shape on the graph, symmetrical around the y-axis.
- Quadratic Function: Represented as (y = x^2), forms a parabola that opens upwards, vertex at the origin.
- Linear Function: Represented as (y = x), depicts a straight line with a slope of 1, passing through the origin.
Transformations of Absolute Value Functions
- Vertical Shift Up: For (y = |x| + k), the graph moves up by (k) units.
- Vertical Shift Down: For (y = |x| - k), the graph moves down by (k) units.
- Horizontal Shift Left: For (y = |x + k|), shifts the graph left by (k) units.
- Horizontal Shift Right: For (y = |x - k|), shifts the graph right by (k) units.
Graph Shapes
- "V" Shape: Exists in absolute value functions, represented as (y = |x|).
- "∧" Shape: Exists in inverted absolute value functions, represented as (y = -|x|), creating a downward-opening "V".
