Triangles with Graph

Type of Graph: Composition of Function above with Absolute Value

Equations: f(x) = abs (1.25x)

F(x) =abs (1.25x) +2.6

F(x) =abs (1.25x) +4.96

Description: I thought this picture was great to represent absolute value. I took this picture with the points of the triangles facing upward (a direction which flatlanders cannot comprehend). I then inverted the picture, and found the equations of the various triangles. I positioned the picture above the x-axis, and proceeded to graph the various equations. This is the result, and I am pleased.
