Lesson # 6: Absolute Value Tool

How to use the Absolute Value Tool:                    *y = f(x) to y = |f(x)|*

For the positive y values do not do anything. But for the negative values, they reflect over the x-axis.

Example:
base graph --- > y = 2x+3                   *All negative values become positive values*
absolute value graph ---> y = |2x+3|



















How to use the Reciprocal Tool:                           *y = f(x) to y = 1/f(x)*

Steps:
1) Base
2) A.V. (zeros)
3) invarient points (ones)
4) reciprocal height
