Answer:

This is called absolute sign | | or something near to that...

Any number inside the | | will always be positive in the output. For example |3|= 3 and also |-3|= 3

|-x| = x (notice that)

That's the bottom line and the idea of this equation

You will substitute with the value of function g(x) in the function f(g(x)) = x

The value of g(x) is known as it states g(x) = -x

So when substituting it's going to be like that

f(-x) = -x (right)?

But notice they told you that

f(x) = |x| so as we stated earlier if it's

Anything inside the | | is always positive

So f(-x) = x ###

Why?

Because when we substitute

|-x| =x
