Question

If f(x)=|x-5|+2, find f(3)

A: 0
B: 6
C: 10
D: 4

Answer 1

The answer is 4

The answer is D

Answer 2

f(3) = [3-5] +2
= [-2] + 2
= 2 + 2
= 4
The answer is D, the two lines around x-5 are absolute value equations. So do what is inside and then it will always be positive, unless there is a minus sign on the outside of the absolute value lines
