Solve your equation step-by-step.

|x|−8=−5

Add 8 to both sides.

|x|−8+8=−5+8

|x|=3

Solve Absolute Value.

|x|=3

We know either x=3 or x=−3

x=3(Possibility 1)

x=−3(Possibility 2)

Over what interval is f(x) negative? Justify your answer.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer in interval notation is (-3, 1)

This is the same as saying -3 < x < 1

=====================================================

Explanation:

Since y = f(x), this means we're looking for points on the red curve such that they have a negative y coordinate. Visually, we're looking for points that are below the horizontal x axis.

These points are shown in the diagram below. I've marked the section we're after in blue. This blue section spans from x = -3 to x = 1. We exclude both endpoints because each x value leads to f(x) = 0, but we want f(x) values smaller than zero.

The smaller rectangle is like a smaller version of the big one, and 8 divided by 2 is four... so I think you need to divide 18 by 4, which is 4.5, so C is the answer
