Transformations of Absolute Value

Which function defines the graph?

• f(x) = |x - 4| + 3

• f(x) = |x - 3| + 4

• f(x) = |-x + 4| + 3

• f(x) = |x + 4| + 3

Describe the transformation from the Absolute Value Parent Function.

• Stretches more narrow, shifts right

• Stretches wider, shifts right

• Stretches more narrow, shifts left

• Stretches wider, shifts left

Describe the transformations of the absolute value equation.

• Reflects over x-axis, compresses wider, shifts right 1 unit

• Reflects over x-axis, compresses wider, shifts up 1 unit

• Reflects over x-axis, stretches more narrow, shifts right 1 unit

• Reflects over x-axis, stretches more narrow, shifts up 1 unit

What is the range of the function?

• all real numbers

• 3 ≤ y

• -4 ≤ y

• 3 ≤ y ≤ 7
