Graphing an abs function with vertical and horizontal shifts

The video tutorial covers the concept of absolute value functions, focusing on identifying them and understanding their transformations. It explains how transformations affect the graph of the function, including shifts up, down, left, and right. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of memorizing these transformation rules and provides techniques for doing so.

What is the main characteristic of an absolute value function?

How do transformations outside the function affect the graph of an absolute value function?

Explain the effect of adding or subtracting a constant inside the function.

What happens to the vertex of the graph when you apply transformations to the absolute value function?

Describe the relationship between the transformations applied to the function and the direction of the shifts.
