Question

Given the function f(x) = -5|x + 1| + 3, for what values of x is f(x) = -12? O X= -2. x = 1 O x= -2 x = 4 O x = 2. x = 4 O x = 2, x = 4

Answer 1

The values are x= -2 and x =4 of the given function f (x) =-5|x+1| +3

What is function?

Function is an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).

According to the question,

The given function is

$f(x) = -5|x + 1| + 3$

Here f(x) = -12

Substitute f(x) and solve for x

$- 12 = -5|x + 1| + 3$

By subtracting 3 on both sides

$- 12 - 3 = -5|x + 1| + 3 - 3$

$- 15 = -5|x + 1|$

By dividing -5 on both sides

$3 = |x + 1|$

We get absolute values for the function.

$x + 1 = 3 , x + 1 = -3$

By subtracting 1 on both sides

$x + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2\\\\x + 1 - 1 = - 3 - 1 = -4\\\\x = 2 , x = - 4$

Therefore, the values of x are 2 and - 4 of the given function f (x) =-5|x+1| +3
