Y = |x| = x if x ≥ 0, -x if x < 0

absolute value can be interpreted as a function that does not allow negative real numbers, forcing them to be positive (leaving 0 alone). if the input x is more than or equal 0, then x stays positive so there is no need to do anything: "x if x ≥ 0".
if the input is less than 0, then it is an negative number and needs a negative coefficient to negate the negative: "-x if x < 0"

example: if x = -3, then it will take the "-x if x < 0" piece resulting in y = -(-3) = 3, which is what |-3| does

if x = 1, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" piece and just have y = 1 which is what |1| does.

for x = 0, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" and just have y = 0 which is what |0| does

How do I factor 8x^2+12+48?
wolverine [178]
<h3><u>4(2x^2 + 3x + 12)</u></h3>

We can factor a 4 out of this expression.

4(2x^2 + 3x + 12)

Now that the expression is simplified, we can see if splitting the middle term is possible.

<em><u>Display factors of 24.</u></em>

1 * 24

-1 * - 24

2 * 12

-2 * -12

3 * 8

-3 * - 8

4 * 6

-4 * -6

All factors of 24 have been listed, and none of these digits satisfy the criteria.

Trinomial cannot be further factored.
