Question

For the function f(x) = |x| + 1, find the value when x = -3

Answer 1

Steps to solve:

f(x) = |x| + 1; x = -3

~Substitute

f(-3) = |-3| + 1

When you take the absolute value of a number it changes it to a positive number regarding it sign.

~Take the absolute value of -3

f(-3) = 3 + 1

~Simplify

f(-3) = 4
