Graph Absolute Value Functions & Write Transformations

Lesson 1.2 for Algebra 2/Trig Honors. This video covers graphing absolute value functions (domain, range, transformations), algebraically restructuring absolute value functions into graphing form, writing transformations for absolute value functions.

Outstanding. Truly excellent. My wife is math-phobic and the main impediment to her getting a nursing degree is college algebra.
I love math. Always have. When I was in 4th grade I “discovered” Pi but because we hadn’t learned fractions yet I could only say a circle’s circumference is a little bit more than three times the diameter.
In 10th grade, one day while riding the bus to school I had an inspiration about a group of math ideas. I actually thought I had invented a new branch of mathematics and started working on fleshing it out. The following year I learned it had been invented centuries before and went by the name trigonometry.
All of that was to explain my wife and I’s mutual frustration. I don’t get how she doesn’t get math. It’s just following logical rules that you would eventually discover on your own if left by yourself on a desert island.
She, on the other hand, thinks it’s chaotic sorcery, and only high priests selected by the Gods get math secrets revealed to them.
So I spend hours searching for ways to get through to her.
And now I found you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

For example 3, since a= -6, shouldn't the graph be reflected over the x-axis, and therefore be pointing down?
