Answer:
x | f(x)
6 | 8
-1 | 6
0 | 4
4 | 14
Explanation:
For x = 6:
f(6) = |-2(6) + 4| = |-12 + 4| = | -8 | = 8
For x = -1:
f(-1) = |-2(-1) + 4| = |2 + 4| = |6| = 6
For f(x) = 4:
|-2x + 4| = 4
-2x + 4 = 4 (Case 1)
-2x + 4 = -4 (Case 2)
Case 1:
-2x + 4 = 4
-2x = 0
x = 0
Case 2:
-2x + 4 = -4
-2x = -8
x = 4
For f(x) = 14:
|-2x + 4| = 14
-2x + 4 = 14 (Case 1)
-2x + 4 = -14 (Case 2)
Case 1:
-2x + 4 = 14
-2x = 10
x = -5
Case 2:
-2x + 4 = -14
-2x = -18
x = 9
Completing the table:
x | f(x)
6 | 8
-1 | 6
0 | 4
4 | 14
