7.1 Absolute Value

Absolute value of a number represents the distance that number is from zero on the number line,

regardless of the direction.

Example 1: 5 5 because both are 5 units away from zero.

Notation: Vertical bars are used around a number or expression to represent its absolute value,

ie: ,

Solutions for Absolute Values The Absolute value is always zero or positive.

- The absolute value of a positive number is positive:

- The absolute value of a negative number is positive:

- The absolute value of zero is zero:

7.2 Absolute Value Functions

Absolute Value Function

An absolute value function has the form , where is a function.

Definitions

Critical point The graph of changes directions at this point. This point is at the x-

intercept of the function .

Invariant point a point that remains unchanged when a transformation is applied to it.

Piecewise function a function composed of two or more separate functions or pieces, each with its

own specific domain, that combine to define the overall function.

Definition: The absolute value of , , can be written as a piecewise function:

Graphically: Comparing and

Note: the critical point or vertex

of this absolute value is .

Pre-Calculus 11 Date: ____________________

Ch. 7: Absolute Value and Reciprocal Functions Loo/Lee/Ko Page 10 of 41

In order to graph the absolute value of a function , you must first graph the original function

.

Points on the graph whose y-coordinates are positive or equal to zero, (above and including the

x-axis) will remain the same. Connect the points with a solid line.

Points on the original function whose y-coordinates are negative (below the x-axis) will be

reflected across the x-axis and made positive. Connect the points with a dotted line.

Example 1: Consider the absolute value function .

a) Determine the x and y intercepts of the function

b) Sketch the graph

c) State the domain and range.

d) Express as a piecewise function.

7.3 Absolute Value Equations: Part 1 Absolute value equation

An equation that includes the absolute value of an expression involving a variable.

To solve an absolute value equation, we have two methods which we can apply.

Graphically: graph both sides of the equation as two separate functions and look for the

x- coordinates of the points of intersection.

Algebraically:

1. Use definition of absolute value to find the critical point(s) of the function.

2. Find out

3. Break up the domain into possible regions.

4. Go through and do the calculations for all the possible cases.

5. Solve and check to see if your answer is valid. Eliminate extraneous roots

Example 1:

a) Solve the equation by graphing.

b) Solve the equation algebraically.

What is a reciprocal? ______________________________________________________________

Review Exercise: Find the reciprocals for the following.

a) b) c) d)

Reciprocal Function

Given a function , the reciprocal function has the form , where is a function,

and . **Need to know:**

1. What is the reciprocal of 0?

2. What are the only two numbers that are equal to their own reciprocals? Definitions: Asymptote a line whose distance from a given curve approaches zero. Vertical asymptote for reciprocal functions, occur at the non-permissible values of the function. The line is a vertical asymptote if the curve approaches the line more and more closely as approaches , and the values of the function increase or decrease without bound as approaches .

Horizontal asymptote describes the behavior of a graph when is very large. The line

is a horizontal asymptote if the values of the function approach when is very large.

Invariant point a point that remains unchanged when a transformation is applied to it.

Just as the reciprocal of a number is , provided that , similarly,

the reciprocal of a function is the function provided that 0f x .

1. Graph the original function. 2. Asymptotes use a dashed line to sketch the vertical and horizontal asymptotes.

3. Points use points (x, y) on original function to graph points (x, ) on reciprocal

function. 4. Join connect your points with a smooth curve and predict the behaviour of the graph

using the asymptotes as a guide.

generalize to examine some reciprocal properties:

Original Function: Reciprocal Function:

The point (a, b) on the original function.

The x-intercepts of the original function

Point(s) on the original function where y = 1

Point(s) on the original function where y = 1

The original function has a small y-value.

The original function has a large y-value

The function increases as you move left to right

The function decreases as you move left to right

How do we go about graphing RECIPROCAL functions without using a table of values?!?

functions in the form and

a) Graph the function

b) Determine the equation of any

asymptotes.

b) Determine the domain and range

the function.

As we can see from the above function, there is one vertical asymptote. The number of zeros of the

original quadratic function will determine the number of vertical asymptotes in the reciprocal function.

Use the characteristic regarding the increasing/decreasing value of the function and its reciprocal to

predict behavior of the reciprocal function.
