2
But……. The Absolute Value Function
The absolute value function is a two-piece piecewise function: Piece 1 – The expression without absolute value when the expression is greater than or equal to zero. Piece 2 – The opposite of the expression without absolute value when the expression is less than zero. But…….
3
This is not how we usually write a piecewise function…..
We simplify each piece and the inequalities so we can work with them. We will call this a ‘simplified piecewise function.’

Type of Transformation
Transformations Review (See Notes Section 15) Replacement Function Type of Transformation Effect on Graph of f(x) f(x) + k vertical translation If k > 0, translate up If k < 0, translate down f(x + k) horizontal translation If k > 0, translate left If k < 0, translate right kf(x) stretch/compress If 0 < k < 1, vertical compression If k > 1, vertical stretch If -1 < k < 0, reflect over x-axis, vertical compression If k < -1, reflect over x-axis, vertical stretch If k = -1, reflect over x-axis f(kx) horizontal If 0 < k < 1, horizontal stretch If k > 1, horizontal compression If -1 < k < 0, reflect over y-axis, horizontal stretch If k < -1, reflect over y-axis vertical compression If k = -1, reflect over y-axis

Vertical translation down 2
Special Note: Just because an equation has an absolute value in it, this does not mean the answer is always positive.
