For x is not equal to 0 |x| and|kx| when -11

OpenStudy (allank):

For the first part, since we haven't been given the limitations of x, we can say that |x|=-x when x is -ve and |x|=x when x is positive.

OpenStudy (imperfection):

wuttt ._.

OpenStudy (allank):

Picture this: Let x=-1. The value of |-1|=-(-1)=1 and if x=1, |1|=1. Make sense?

OpenStudy (imperfection):

yes

OpenStudy (allank):

Alright. Now, while x is positive: The value of |kx| when -1<k<1 is -(kx) if k is -ve and +kx if k is +ve and 0 if k=0. While x is negative: The value of |kx| k>1 is -(kx).

OpenStudy (allank):

That's a lot to take in at once, but have a look at it and you'll get the hang of it :)

OpenStudy (imperfection):

im lost but thanks for the help

OpenStudy (allank):
