Question

If f(x) = 8 – 3|x + 2|, find f(–6)

A.

–4








B.
20







C.
4







D.

–16

Answer 1

f(x) = 8 – 3|x + 2|

step at a time

we will plug in -6 for x and get

-6+2 = -4
now we do |-4| = 4
now we do 3*4 = 12
now we do 8-12 = -4

in all \(f(-6) = 8-3|-6+2|=8-3|-4| = 8-3*4 = 8-12 = -4\)

Answer 2

you should be able to do the next one, do it step at a time, and start inside the ||
