Answer:

B) 4

Explanation:

Solve the Function Operation

f (−5) f (x) = |x + 1|

Replace the variable x with −5 in the expression.

f (−5) = |(−5) + 1|

Simplify |(−5) + 1|.

Remove parentheses.

|(−5) + 1|

Add −5 and 1.

|−4|

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between −4 and 0 is 4
