Graphical Transformation (involve modulus) - (Concept)

$
f(x) \rightarrow|f(x)|
$
When $y=f(x)$ given
Leave the positive part of $f(x)$ (the part above the $x$-axis) as it is

Now, take the image of the negative part of $f(x)$ (the part below the $x$-axis) about the $x$-axis.
OR

Take the mirror image in the $x$-axis of the portion of the graph of $f(x)$ which lies below the $x$-axis

For Example: 

                                     


 

                y=x                                                              y=|x3|                                             y=|x3| and y=x3

           

Transformation $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \rightarrow \mathrm{f}(|\mathrm{x}|) \mid$
When $y=f(x)$ given
Leave the graph lying right side of the $y$-axis as it is
The part of $f(x)$ lying on the left side of the $y$-axis is deleted.
Now, on the left of the $y$-axis take the mirror image of the portion of $f(x)$ that lying on the right side of the $y$-axis.

For Example:

         

                 y = f(x)                                     y = f(x) and y = f(|x|)                                 y = f(|x|)                                      

Transformation $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \rightarrow|\mathrm{f}(|\mathrm{x}|)|$
First $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ is transforms to $|\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})|$
Then $|f(x)|$ transforms to $|\mathrm{f}(|\mathrm{x}|)|$

Or

(i) $f(x) \rightarrow|f(x)| \quad$ (ii) $f(x) \rightarrow f(|x|) \mid$

For Example:

              y = f(x)                                                y = |f(x)|                                             y = f(|x|)

                         

 

              y = |f(|x|)|

                      

$\begin{aligned} & y=f(x) \rightarrow|y|=f(x) \\ & y=f(x) \text { is given }\end{aligned}$

Remove the part of the graph which lies below X-axis

Plot the remaining part 

take the mirror image of the portion that lies above the x-axis about the x-axis.
