Module 2: Absolute Value Functions, Equations, and Inequalities
What are the questions?
When writing an adsolute function from a graph, how can you use the direction in which an absolute value function opens to check your work?
In an absolute value function, which parameters can be used to find the vertex of the function?
Can you graph an absolute value function using a graphing calculator?
Can you graph an absolute value function on graph paper?
How can you use the parameters of an absolute value funtion in general form to predict the shape of the function?
Explain why the vertex of the parent function for absolute value function f(x) remains the same when f(x) is stretrched or compressed, but not when it is translated?
Can you write the absolute value function in standard form for a given graph?
Can you graph the absolute value function and identify the domain and range?

Why do you write the solutions to the absolute value equation as a disjunction?
Is it possible for an absolute value equation to have no solution? one solution?
Can you graph the solution set to an absolute value equation on a number line?
How would you characterize the solutions to an absolute value inequality?
How do you know when the endpoints of the solution interval on the x-axis are not in the solution?
How is solving an absolute value inequality like and different from solving an absolute value equation?
