How Do You Graph an Absolute Value Function?

Graphing an absolute value equation can be complicated, unless you know how to dissect the equation to find and use the slope and translations. Follow along as this tutorial shows you how to identify the necessary parts of the equation and use them to graph the absolute value equation.
What Does the Constant 'k' do in y = |x|+k?

When you're learning about translating absolute value equations, learning about vertical translations is a MUST! Check out this tutorial and see what it takes to translate an absolute value equation vertically.
What Does the Constant 'h' do in y = |x-h|?

When you're learning about translating absolute value equations, learning about horizontal translations is a MUST! Check out this tutorial and see what it takes to translate an absolute value equation horizontally.
What is an Absolute Value Function?

An absolute value function is just a function that contains absolute values. This tutorial gives a great introduction to this very useful function!
How Do You Make a Table for a Quadratic Function?

When you're trying to graph a quadratic equation, making a table of values can be really helpful. To figure out what x-values to use in the table, first find the vertex of the quadratic equation. That way, you can pick values on either side to see what the graph does on either side of the vertex. To see how to make a table of values for a quadratic equation, check out this tutorial!
How Do You Graph a Quadratic Function?

When you're trying to graph a quadratic equation, making a table of values can be really helpful. Before you make a table, first find the vertex of the quadratic equation. That way, you can pick values on either side to see what the graph does on either side of the vertex. Watch this tutorial to see how you can graph a quadratic equation!
What is the Vertex of a Quadratic Function?

Each quadratic equation has either a maximum or minimum, but did you that this point has a special name? In a quadratic equation, this point is called the vertex! Take a look at the vertex of a quadratic equation by watching this tutorial.
What is a Parabola?

If you graph a linear function, you get a line. If you graph a quadratic function, you get something called a parabola. A parabola tends to look like a smile or a frown, depending on the function. Check out this tutorial and learn about parabolas!
What is a Quadratic Function?

You can't go through algebra without seeing quadratic functions. The graphs of quadratic functions are parabolas; they tend to look like a smile or a frown. In this tutorial, get introduced to quadratic functions, look at their graphs, and see some examples of quadratic functions!
How Can You Tell If You Have a Linear Equation?

Trying to figure out if an equation is a linear equation? Well, can you write it in standard form? If you can, then it's a linear equation. See this process in action by watching this tutorial!
How Can You Tell if a Function is Linear or Nonlinear From a Graph?
How Can You Tell if a Function is Linear or Nonlinear From a Table?

To see if a table of values represents a linear function, check to see if there's a constant rate of change. If there is, you're looking at a linear function! This tutorial shows you how to tell if a table of values represents a linear function.
What is a Cubic Function?

Cubic functions are just one type of function youâ€™ll see in math. This tutorial introduces you to cubic functions, shows you some examples and graphs, and explains the parent function of cubic functions. Check out this tutorial to learn about cubic functions!
