Question

If f(x) = |x – 5| + 2, find f(3).

Answer 1

Absolute value means that you find two answers.. First substitute the 3 in the equation and solve it as it is, disregarding the || signs. For the second, make the figures in the || negative so the 3 which would replace x would be -3 and since 5 is already -5 you would make it positive and solve that way

Answer 2

f(3)=3-5 + 2
f(3)=-2+2
f(3)=0

f(3)=-3+5 +2
f(3)=2+2
f(3)=4

Answer 3

Do you understand?

Answer 4

yes thank you
