Question

|x+3|, if x>5

I really need help were supposed to be using the absolute value!! If you can add an explanation that would be great!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

Suppose x+3 < 0. Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality.

x < -3

So, x+3 is negative when x < -3. When x>5,

x+3 > 8, which is positive, so the absolute value function has no effect.

|x+3| > 8
