The absolute value of a number is the distance of the number from 0 to the left or right on the number line.
We are given the function;
f(x) = |2x³ - 3x| + 5
This function contains an absolute value symbol which is |2x³ - 3x|.
This function is thus illustrated by an an absolute value function because an absolute value function will be one that contains algebraic expressions within absolute value symbols.
