Question 359211: Hello! I'm a ninth grader who needs help with graphing functions with absolute value. For instance, the first problem in my Algebra II/Trigonometry homework is:
f(x) = |x|
I already understand what a function is, as well as the absolute value, it's just my teacher didn't explain very thoroughly on how to graph them. I'd be very grateful if you were able to give me a step-by-step explanation on how to graph this problem. Thank you so much in advance for voluntarily helping students like me.
Sincerely,

Question 359316: I have a value on absolute value equations! Why in some problems you get the same answer: for example x= 8 and x= -8, and in other problems you get two different answers: for example x= 3 and x= 7? Also, how do you know in which problems if you will get the same answer or if you will get different answers?
