Graphing Absolute Value Functions with Transformations 6 Examples

Example highlighting difference between vertical stretch/compression and horizontal stretch/compression at 28:38 Thank you Rishana for letting me know that my segmented graph for example 5 is a relation and not a function. I make silly mistakes like that even in my class sometimes. My live students catch those immediately and help me out:)

    I have viewed quite a substantial number of alternative math-aid video materials, and have to admit that you are truly a teacher from God. Clear, laconic (yet plenty of material covered), committed to full coverage of various topics and quite humorous (which has been proven to aid memory retention....and makes math that much more fun). Thank you!!!

    My professor requires us to apply the transformations to a given point, (ex: you're given (0,0) and your equation is: y= -|-2/3(x-3)|+4 ). I understand that you would add 3 to the x coord since you're shifting to the right 3 units and add 4 to the y-coord since you're going up 4 units, but for reflections, stretches, and compressions, I'm not sure what to do. Especially when it's a fraction, and is there a certain order that you must apply these transformations, or does it not matter? I love your sound effects btw.

    just wondering if you can recommend some bibliography on this topic. How do we go from equations of of a line Y=mx+b, or point slope, or standard form to transformations? what are the values a, b, c, and d in that equation coming from. I notice the equation y= a. b(x-c) +d has four variables. Are they derived from y=x? Before I really understand how to use it, i want to understand a, b,c, and d values where do they stem from?

    Every graph has a Parent Function... lines, absolute values, parabolas, sine functions etc. The transformations I discuss in this video repeat in all of these types of graphs and work the same. Seeing the four transformations in a linear function is a bit hard to see at times. Yes there is m and b changing slope and y intercept. For more complicated graphs like parabolas you get those equations into Standard Form using Completing the Square. You will see Transformation concepts repeated over and over. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZelk8OKdKbMhqg.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/dWme0MOscpXeZbw.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4Zr25qhqbLWdLg.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4Zr25qhqbLWdLg.html etc.

    I actually think i figured it out. All are x and y values!!! of course! on the grid all are x and y.... now Y= +/- a [+/-b (x-c)] +d, a, b, c, and d are all x and y values modifying "transforming" the initial equation y= mx+b. I would like to show you something but i would like to chat with you via e-mail. I wrote you one already last week where I said ratios and rates of changes are CRUCIAL. let me know....

    "ProfRobBob", thank you for a great presentation. I was reviewing my son's home work and had forgotten how these are done. I thought, it's easy, just take the function out of the absolute value and graph for both the (+) and (-) cases; but, that didn't work. Why? Anyway, from reviewing his math book, I understood most of the translations, except for when the coefficient of "X" is other than "1". But, thanks to you, now I got that too. Can anyone comment and let me know why we can't graph these using the (+) and (-) cases of evaluating an absolute value? Thanks.

Still, I am planning on captioning more of your videos as soon as my doctor releases me to sit up for more extended periods. I broke 3 vertebrae in my lower back in the fall, but only bruised the spinal cord, so I am restricted to lying down for a month (which started on July 2, 2022.) BTW, there was no damage done to the actual spinal cord. I will work on finishing up the captioning of the ones I have not been finished as soon as I am cleared to sit up again
