Question

What is the value of b(10) when b(x)=|3-x|+1

Answer 1

let x = 10

what is |3-x| = ?

Answer 2

-7?

Answer 3

+1 is -6

Answer 4

| | will give a positive or zero number
|*| means the distance between * and 0
examples:|
0|=0
|7|=7
|-7|=7
|-3.1|=3.1
|-2|=2
|-pi|=pi

this is the piecewise definition:
|a|=a if a>0
|a|=-a if a<0
|a|=0 if a=0

Answer 5

so you said 3-10 is -7
you still have absolute value bars around that
|3-10|=|-7|=?
