Analyzing the Absolute Value Function Parameters

For this activity you will need to open up the Absolute Value Exploration applet on Geogebra,
https://www.geogebra.org/classic/agszvbma

1) On the applet, change the value of a to both negative and positive values. What do you
notice about the graph when you change the values?

2) What happens when a is negative? What happens when a is positive?

3) On the applet, change the value of b to both negative and positive values. What do you
notice about the graph when you change the values?

4) What happens when b is negative? What happens when b is positive?

5) How does this differ from when you changed a?

6) On the applet, change the value of c to both negative and positive values. What do you
notice about the graph when you change the values?

7) What happens when c is negative? What happens when c is positive?

8) How does this differ from when you changed a and b?

9) On the applet, change the value of d to both negative and positive values. What do you
notice about the graph when you change the values?

10) What happens when d is negative? What happens when d is positive?

11) How does this differ from when you changed a, b, and c?

12) On a separate sheet of paper, or on the back of this one, sketch the graph of F(x)=-
3|5x+1|-5. Explain how you know that your graph is correct.

13) Given this graph, give the equation of the function and explain how you got your answer
