What kind of function is being illustrated by f(x)=|2x³-3x|+5?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option D: Absolute value function

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
