Question

F(x) = 8|x| - 5
f(-2) =

Answer 1

f(-2) = 11

Explanation:

Hello!

We can evaluate y by plugging in -2 for x in the equation.

Evaluate

• f(x) = 8|x| - 5
• f(-2) = 8|-2| - 5
• f(-2) = 8(2) - 5 Remember that absolute value turns the number positive
• f(-2) = 16 - 5
• f(-2) = 11

The evaluated value is 11.
