It is the third answer. Absolute value just means the distance from that number (-3 in your case) to 0 on a number line. Choice 3 shows just that.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We have ,

Full Question
A 10 kilogram object suspended from the end of a vertically hanging spring stretches the spring 9.8 centimeters. At time t = 0, the resulting mass—spring system is disturbed from its rest state by the force F (t) = 20 cos(8t). The force F (t) is expressed in Newtons and is positive in the downward direction, and time is measured in seconds.
Determine the spring constant k.
Answer:
Spring Constant = 1000Nm^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Mass = 10kg
Spring Extension = 9.8cm
Spring Constant K = Force/Extension
Force = Mass * Acceleration
Force = 10 * 9.8 = 9.8N
Spring Extension = 9.8 cm = 9.8 /100 = 0.098 m
Spring constant = 98 / 0.098
Spring Constant = 1000Nm^-1
<span>A. cos(x) = cos(-x) [correct, since cos(x) is an even function]
B. Since the cosine function is even, reflection over the x-axis [y-axis] does not change the graph. [false]
C. cos(x) = -cos(x) [ false]
D. The cosine function is odd [even], so it is symmetrical across the origin. [false]</span>
