The function having an algebraic expression inside absolute value symbols is known as an absolute functional form, and the calculation is as follows:
Absolute value calculation:
- An absolute functional form has an algebraic expression inside absolute value symbols.
- Remember that a number's absolute value is its distance from zero on the number line.
[tex]\to f(x) = |x|[/tex] is [tex]f(x) = x[/tex] for [tex]x > = 0[/tex] and [tex]f(x) = -x[/tex] for [tex]x < 0[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]\to f(x) = |x + 8|[/tex] is [tex]f(x) = x + 8[/tex] when [tex]x + 8 > = 0[/tex] i.e. [tex]x > -8[/tex] and
[tex]\to f(x) = -x - 8[/tex] when [tex]x + 8 < 0[/tex] i.e. [tex]x < -8[/tex]
