In the morning, we just worked on our exercises then a REALLY short lesson in the afternoon.
The lesson was about graphing absolute values.
As you can see, the x-intercepts (zeroes or roots) for the absolute graph (green graph) are -3 and 3.
This is because if you set the y to zero
y = x - 3
0 = x- 3
x = -3
y = x + 3
0 = x + 3
x = 3
It is important to remember that: ABSOLUTE VALUE ALWAYS HAS TO BE POSITIVE. (in the graph)
Since you can't have a negative value... the graph will just bounce and go the opposite direction.
the absolute value of -1 is 1 therefore the graph will just keep on bouncing and it will never have a negative value.
That is it for now... if i missed anything please inform me.
The next scribe is JAMILYN G.
