Questions
1. What is the effect of changing the value of a on the graphs of the parent functions?

2. What is the effect of changing the value of b on the graphs of the parent functions?

3. What is the effect of changing the value of c on the graphs of the parent functions?

4. Why does the part of the absolute value function to the right of its vertex not display?
