Answer:

In math students think that the function just removes negative signs, and actually that is basically what happens...

BUT !!! the definition that you want is that absolute value is a measure of how far (distance) you are from ZERO.... and note that distances are not negative...

If you run out of gas one mile in front of behind a gas station, you have to travel "one mile" you don't walk "negative one mile"...

forward one mile or backward one mile are both "one mile" just in different directions

PLEASE HELP!! <br> Algebra II

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

f(-8) = -512, f(8) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = -8 and 8 into the function, taking into account the rules of the function.

For x = -8, x < 0 so the value is equal to the cube of -8, which is -512.

For x = 8, x > 0 so the value is equal to the cube root of 8, which is 2.

Using the Factor Theorem, which of the polynomial functions has the zeros 2, radical 3 , and negative radical 3 ?

Alja [10]

Using the factor theorem, it is found that the polynomial is:

$f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 6$

Given by the first option

---------------------------

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n}$ using the factor theorem it can be written as: $a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n)$ , in which a is the leading coefficient.
