Activity Overview
Students will find the solutions to an absolute value equation using graphical and tabular representations. First, they will explore the relationship between an equation and its graph by graphing an absolute value equation, identifying the points of intersection, and substituting the solutions back into the original equation. They will then examine the function table, compare the tabular solutions to the graphical solutions, and verify solutions using three different methods.
