Sketching graphs

3.2.6 use and apply |x| for the absolute value of the real number x and the graph of y = |x|

3.2.7 examine the relationship between the graph of y= f(x) and the graphs of $y=frac1{f(x)}$ , y= |f(x)| and y= f(|x|)

The wikipedia page on Set-builder notation is worth looking at for further details of how to specify domain and range.

## 3. Absolute values and functions

Graphs of absolute value functions in the general form $aleft|b(x-c)right|+d$

## More about absolute value functions

It’s difficult to know just how much to include about absolute value functions. The information below is old content that may be inferred to be included by the broad curriculum descriptions.

### Absolute value and inequalities:

To solve inequalities involving absolute values we make use of the relation (|a|leq b iff -bleq aleq b). For example:
begin{align*}
|x-3| leq 9 &iff -9 le x-3 le 9 \
&iff -6 le x le 12
end{align*}
