Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Question 2
2.

Problem 1 Got It? What is the graph of the function y = |x| + 2? Graph the function on the canvas. Use colors other than black.

Question 3
3.

Problem 1 Got It: Graph the parent function and translated function on the same plane. Zoom and pan your graph to leave an appropriate scale and viewing window.

We have released a new and improved Graphing question type! Students will no longer be able to answer this question.
Question 4
4.

Problem 1 Got It: How is the graph of y = |x| + 2 related to the graph of its parent function y = |x|?

Question 5
5.

Problem 1 Got It? Reasoning: Do transformations of the form y + |x|+ k affect the axis of symmetry? Explain.

You may use this pre-made Desmos graph to analyze the effects of k on the parent function here. Drag the slider in the second row to see how different vales of k impact the graph.

Problem 2 Got It? What is the graph of the function? Graph the function on the canvas. Use a color other than black.

Question 7

Problem 3 Got It? What is the graph of the function? Graph the function on the canvas. Use a color other than black.

Question 8

Reasoning: Is it true that without making a graph of an absolute value function, you can describe its position in the coordinate plane? Explain with an example function.

Question 16
16.

Graphing: Graph two absolute value functions such that they have a common vertex in Quadrant III and one is the reflection of the other in a [across a] horizontal line. Graph the functions. Zoom and pan your graph to leave an appropriate scale and viewing window.

We have released a new and improved Graphing question type! Students will no longer be able to answer this question.
Question 18

Review Lesson 2-6: Write an equation for the transformation of the graph of y = x + 2.

2 units up, 3 units right

Question 19
19.

Review Lesson 2-6: Identify the functions that correspond to f(x) = 2x - 6 after the indicated reflections.

  • f(x) = -2x + 6
  • f(x) = -2x - 6
  • Reflection across the y-axis
  • Reflection across the x-axis
Question 20

Review Lesson 2-5: Sketch a trend line for each scatter plot on the canvas. Use the line segment tool and colors other than black.

Question 21

Vocabulary Review: Simplify the absolute value expression. Enter only a number.

Question 23

Vocabulary Review: Simplify the absolute value expression. Enter only a number.

Question 25
25.

Use Your Vocabulary: Draw a line of symmetry through each figure on the canvas.

Question 26
26.

Use Your Vocabulary Identify the graph that does NOT show symmetry about the y-axis.

  • Does NOT show symmetry about the y-axis
Question 27
