A is always
From what I have B and C are never because one will always end up negative while the other is positive.

A).  |x| = |-x|
This is always true.
The definition of 'absolute' value is 'size of the number without its sign'.
That's what this expression says.

b).  |x| = -|x|
This is never true, because an absolute value is never negative.
This one would true if x=0 .  So maybe some people might say
it's sometimes true, but that doesn't feel right to me.  I say never.

c).  |-x| = -|x|
This looks to me like exactly the same situation as (b),
and I would say all the same things about it.

The axis of symmetry for a function in the form f(x) = x2 + 4x - 5 is x = -2. What are the coordinates of the vertex of the
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

(- 2, - 9 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry passes through the vertex of the parabola.

Thus the x- coordinate of the vertex is x = - 2

To find y substitute x = - 2 into f(x)

f(- 2) = (- 2)² + 4(- 2) - 5 = 4 - 8 - 5 = - 9

Vertex = (- 2, - 9 )
