Lesson Summary:

In this lesson, we learn how to graph and describe multiple transformations. The parent graph of an absolute value function is introduced and the various transformations such as shifting and reflecting are shown. The key to merging these transformations is to ensure the final graph is shifted to the left, shifted up, and facing downward. By following these steps, students can successfully graph complex functions with multiple transformations.

Lesson Description:

Graphing and describing multiple transformations

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
