Question

What is the value of b(10) when b(x)= | 3-x |+1 ?

b(10)=_______?

Answer 1

`b(x) = |3 - 10| + 1`

b(x)=

`| - 7| + 1`

7+1

=8

Answer is 8

Whenever a number is negative for absolute value. Then the negative number changes to a positive number.

Answer 2

b(10) = 7 + 1 = 8

Explanation:

Evaluate b(x)= | 3-x | + 1 at x = 10 by subbing 10 for x in two places:

b(10) = | 3-10 | + 1

= | -7 | + 1

b(10) = 7 + 1 = 8
