Modulus Function Guide & Graphs

This document discusses the modulus function and its properties and graphs. It begins by defining the modulus function and absolute value, and provides examples of evaluating modulus expressions. It then explains how to sketch the graph of a modulus function, which results in a piecewise defined function. Examples are given of sketching the graphs of common modulus functions like f(x)=x, f(x)=2x+3, and how the graph changes when the function is multiplied by a constant or a constant is added. The document concludes with a worksheet providing additional practice problems.
