Answer:

f(3) = 4

Explanation:

The absolute value, |X|, is defined as the magnitude of a number without regard to its sign. For example, absolute value of 1 is 1 and absolute value of -1 is 1.

Thus, based on the function:

f(x)=|x−5|+2

f(3) = |3−5|+2

f(3) = |-2|+2

-Absolute value of -2 = 2-

f(3) = 2+2

f(3) = 4
