Today’s bellwork was a lateral thinking question.

The remainder of the period students worked on an exploration to discover how altering the equation of the Parent Absolute Value Function, y=|x| changes the graph.  See the link at the bottom for some of this exploration and results.

We then discussed Sec 6-7 which contains much of what the exploration covered.

Hwk #32 is due on Monday:  Practice Sheet – Absolute Value functions and their graphs.
