Write as a piecewise function. f(x) = abs(3x-2) + x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

set 3x-2 equal to zero to find when the abs(x) affects the function then make that the domain of each of your peices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

youll have to alter the part of the negative domain to retain the same co domain as the original function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x = 2/3 right?

You can also refer to the definition of the absolute value function itself: \[|x|=\begin{cases}x & \text{if $x\geq0$}\\ -x & \text{if $x<0$} \end{cases}\] This means that \[|3x-2|=\begin{cases}3x-2 & \text{if $3x-2\geq0$}\\ -(3x-2) & \text{if $3x-2<0$} \end{cases}\]
