3 to the 1st is 3
3 to the 2nd is 9
3 to the 3rd is 27
3 to the 4th is 81
3 to the 5th is 243
3 to the 6th is 729
f is given as -3
-3 is greater than -4, so use the second equation 3x-5.
replace x with -3 and calculate:
3(-3) - 5 = -9 - 5 = -14
The answer is -14.
The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from zero on the number line. Only one number is 0 units from 0. It is zero. For all other distances, there are always two numbers. Example: The two numbers a distance of 1 unit from zero are -1 and 1. Example: The two numbers a distance of 4.5 units from zero are -4.5 and 4.5.
In your case, the two numbers a distance of 1.75 units from zero are -1.75 and 1.75. Find -1.75 between -1.5 and -2 and place a dot there. Find 1.75 between 1.5 and 2 and place a dot there.
