We are asked to evaluate
.

- The notation |x| denotes absolute value.
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero.
Absolute value is always positive; distances can't be negative, right?
So we need to find the absolute value of 98, which is:

Remember this...

Hope it helps you out! :D

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation
Answer:
Let's put the chart into ordered pairs:
(x, y)
(2,1)
(3,4)
(3,3)
(4,2)
(5,5)
In bold, we see that there are two y-values at x=3. This means that this relation fails the vertical line test (two points on the same verticle line). This is not a function.
The answer options may be mis-written.
The answer is no, because one x value corresponds to more than one y-value.
1.25 in expanded form is, (1 x 1) + (2/10) + (5/100)
hope this helps
