This document provides steps for sketching the graphs of absolute value functions: sketch the underlying function first, then reflect any parts below the x-axis over the x-axis to obtain the absolute value graph. It also gives two examples - sketching y = 2x - 1 and y = (x^2 - 1)^(1/2) - and directs the reader to an exercise involving sketching another absolute value function graph.

2. Sketching the graphs of absolute value functions ...
Step 1: Sketch the graph of y = ƒ(x).
Step 2: Reflect all the part of the line that
is below the x­axis over the x­axis. y = x

3. Given f (x) = 2x ­ 1 sketch y = f(x)
