@agent0smith @Mehek14 @sweetburger @YanaSidlinskiy @sammixboo

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Just plug in x=2, and make sure to follow order of operations correctly.

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

can you write it out and ill solve

Mehek (mehek14):

f(2) = |2 x 2 - 7| - 3 You would first multiply 2 x 2 and then subtract by 7

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

the answer isnt there

Mehek (mehek14):

What did you get as the answer?

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

-6 lol

Mehek (mehek14):

Can you show how you got it?

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

2 x 2 and then subtract by 7 then subtract - 3

Mehek (mehek14):

What is 2 x 2 - 7 = ?

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

-3

Mehek (mehek14):

Right Did you notice that it's between this | | ? |-3| You have to find the distance between -3 and 0 which is?

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

3?

Mehek (mehek14):

Correct so |-3| becomes 3 and 3 - 3 = ?

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

0

Mehek (mehek14):

So f(2) = 0

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

ohhhh

Mehek (mehek14):

Whatever you get inside | | becomes positive.

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):
