For absolute value, you are trying to figure out how many spaces it will take from that number to 0.
For example, if I was given the problem
| 3 |, I would ask myself "How do I get from 3 to 0? Since it takes you 3 spaces to get to 0, the answer will be 3. The same goes for any problem. If there is a negative sign in front of the absolute value, you add a negative to your answer.
hope that helps!
The given data is shown in the table below.
x: -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1
f(x): 35 24 15 8 3 0 -1
A graph of the data is shown below.
Calculate rates of change, r.
Interval: [-5, -1]
r = (35 - 3)/(-5+1) = -8 (tile -8)
Interval: [-4, -1]:
r = (24 - 3)/(-4 + 1) = -7 (tile -7)
Interval: [-3, 1]:
r = (15 + 1)/(-3 - 1) = -4 (tile - 4)
Interval: [-2, 1]
r = (8 + 1)/(-2 - 1) = -3 (tile -3)
Answer:
Tile Interval
----- ----------
-3 [-2, 1]
-4 [-3, 1]
-7 [-4, -1]
-8 [-5, -1]
Answer:
Create the table and choose a set of x values. Substitute each x value (left side column) into the equation. Evaluate the equation (middle column) to arrive at the y value. An Optional step, if you want, you can omit the middle column from your table, since the table of values is really just the x and y pairs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Specify a name for the function.
Specify a name and data type for each input parameter.
