are you suppose to plu in the -2 where the x's are?

myininaya (myininaya):
f(x)=|-6x^2-x^4+4x|
and you want to find f(-2) right?

then u have to do this:
f(-2)=|-6(-2)^2-(-2)^4+4(-2)|

myininaya (myininaya):
use your order of operations

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):
would there be two answers then because of the absolute value signs

myininaya (myininaya):
|-3| means we want the distance from -3 to 0
which is 3 units right?
|-3|=3
it only gives one distance

i was typing lol
you are impatient

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
but if u hav:

so would the answer be -64 and 64?
14 years ago
myininaya (myininaya):
no you only get one answer
14 years ago
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
there is a difference:
|x| = 3
then the values be
3 or -3
But, if u hav
x= |-3|
then x = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ooohhh ok i get it
14 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is 64 correct?

i'm getting 48 not 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(-2) = |-6(-2)^2 - (-2)^4 + 4(-2)|
f(-2) = |-6(4) - (32) - 8|
f(-2) = |-24 - 32 - 8|
f(-2) = |-64|
f(-2) = 64

myininaya (myininaya):
(-2)^4=?

myininaya (myininaya):
(-2)^4=(-2)(-2)(-2)(-2)=4(4)=16

oh
14 years ago
myininaya (myininaya):
so
f(-2)=|-6(-2)^2-(-2)^4+4(-2)|
=|-6(4)-16-8|
=|-24-16-8|

OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's -48

oh great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks !

myininaya (myininaya):
|-48| is telling us to find the distance from -48 and 0
and distance is zero or positive
so the distance from -48 to 0 is 48
and there not two answers because you can only have one number to represent the distance
