Question

What is h(-3) given h(x) = -|2-x|

and:

what is w(16) given w(j) = |j - 24| + 19

Answer 1

You have to plug in the given values into the function and simplify.

`h(x)=-|(2-x)|`

`h(-3)=-|(2--3)|`

`h(-3)=-|(2+3)|`

`h(-3)=-|5|`

`h(-3)=-5`

`w(j) = |j-24| + 19`

`w(16) = |16-24| + 19`

`w(16) = |-8| + 19`

`w(16) = 8 + 19`

`w(16) = 27`
