Notice that the coefficient a
in the standard form
y = a |x - h| + k takes
charge of changing the slope.
EL-9650/9600c/9450/9400 shows absolute values with | |, just as written on paper, by
using the Equation editor. Use of the calculator allows various absolute value functions
to be graphed quickly and shows their characteristics in an easy-to-understand manner.
The Shift/Change feature of the EL-9650/9600c/9450/9400 allows visual understanding
of how graph changes affect the form of absolute value functions.
Notice that the function h in
the standard form
y = a|x - h|+
k takes charge
of horizontal movement of
the graph.
