Question

What is the value of h(-7)

h(x) =|3x| -1

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

h(-7) just means that inside the x value, you replace the x with a -7.

h(-7) = |3x| - 1

h(-7) = | 3(-7)| - 1

h(-7) = | -21 | - 1

NOTE: -21 is inside |x|, those straight lines mean absolute value. No matter what, any negative number would turn into a positive one. And if it’s posititve, then it stays positive.

h(-7) = 21 - 1

h(-7) = 20
