Overview
This video introduces absolute value functions, building upon the definition of absolute value as the distance from zero on the number line. It explains how to interpret and graph absolute value functions, contrasting them with linear functions. The lesson covers the definition, properties, and graphical representations of both f(x) = |x| and h(x) = -|x|, emphasizing their piecewise nature and key characteristics like domain, range, intercepts, and intervals of increase/decrease. The goal is to equip students with a solid understanding of absolute value functions for future mathematical concepts.

Chapters
- The common definition of absolute value as 'making everything positive' is a misconception.
- The correct definition of absolute value is the distance of a number from zero on the number line.
- Distance is always non-negative (zero or positive).
- If the value inside the absolute value is non-negative (>= 0), it is removed as is.
- If the value inside the absolute value is negative (< 0), it is removed by changing its sign (multiplying by -1).
A precise understanding of the absolute value definition as distance is crucial for correctly interpreting and applying absolute value functions, avoiding common errors.
The distance from our house to school is always a positive number, never negative, just like absolute value.
- A cargo company uses distances from a central depot (M) to various distribution points (A, B, C, D, E).
- The center depot is treated as the zero point on a number line.
- Points to the left of the center (e.g., A at -4, B at -2) have negative positions but positive distances from the center.
- Points to the right of the center (e.g., C at +3, D at +1, E at +5) have positive positions and positive distances from the center.
- The distance from the center is always the absolute value of the point's position.
This example grounds the abstract concept of absolute value in a relatable scenario, demonstrating its practical application in measuring distances.
Point A is at position -4 on the number line, but its distance from the center (0) is |-4| = 4 units.
- The absolute value function, f(x) = |x|, relates an input x to its distance from zero.
- It can be expressed as a piecewise function: f(x) = x if x >= 0, and f(x) = -x if x < 0.
- The domain of f(x) = |x| is all real numbers (R).
- The range of f(x) = |x| is all non-negative real numbers [0, +∞).
- The graph of f(x) = |x| forms a 'V' shape, with the vertex at the origin (0,0).
Understanding the piecewise definition and graphical shape of f(x) = |x| is fundamental to analyzing its behavior and comparing it with other functions.
When x = -3, f(-3) = |-3| = 3. When x = 5, f(5) = |5| = 5.
- The graph of y = |x| is obtained by taking the graph of y = x and reflecting the portion below the x-axis (where x < 0) across the x-axis.
- This reflection ensures that all output values (y-values) are non-negative.
- The function f(x) = |x| is not one-to-one because a horizontal line can intersect its graph at more than one point.
- f(x) = |x| is decreasing on the interval (-∞, 0] and increasing on the interval [0, +∞).
- The minimum point of f(x) = |x| is at the origin (0,0).
Visualizing the graph and understanding its properties like symmetry, intervals of increase/decrease, and the one-to-one property are key to deeper comprehension of function behavior.
The graph of y = |x| starts at (0,0), goes up to the right (like y=x for x>0), and goes up to the left (like y=-x for x<0).
- The function h(x) = -|x| takes the absolute value of x and then negates the result.
- Its graph is the reflection of the graph of f(x) = |x| across the x-axis.
- The domain of h(x) = -|x| is all real numbers (R).
- The range of h(x) = -|x| is all non-negative real numbers (-∞, 0].
- h(x) = -|x| is increasing on the interval (-∞, 0] and decreasing on the interval [0, +∞).
- The maximum point of h(x) = -|x| is at the origin (0,0).
Comparing h(x) = -|x| with f(x) = |x| highlights the effect of a negative sign on the graph and its properties, reinforcing the concept of transformations.
When x = -3, h(-3) = -|-3| = -(3) = -3. When x = 5, h(5) = -|5| = -(5) = -5.
Key takeaways
- Absolute value represents distance from zero, which is always a non-negative quantity.
- The function f(x) = |x| can be defined piecewise: f(x) = x for x ≥ 0 and f(x) = -x for x < 0.
- The graph of f(x) = |x| has a characteristic 'V' shape with its vertex at the origin.
- The graph of h(x) = -|x| is an inverted 'V' shape, representing the reflection of f(x) = |x| across the x-axis.
- Absolute value functions are not one-to-one because horizontal lines can intersect their graphs at multiple points.
- The range of f(x) = |x| is [0, ∞), while the range of h(x) = -|x| is (-∞, 0].
- Understanding the graphical transformations (like reflection across the x-axis) is key to analyzing absolute value functions.
