Do you go to connexus I have the same question?
The slope of an absolute function at the point where it evaluates to zero is undefined.
Here, when x=1, so |4x-4|=|4-4|=|0|, the slope is undefined. This is where the vertex of the "V" on the graph of the absolute value function.
Short answer: 2 * sqrt(13)
Remark
There are a number of ways to look at this. I'll pick the easiest.
Step one
Factor 52 until there are no more prime factors to be used.
52 = 2 * 26
52 = 2 * 2 * 13. That's as far as you can go.
Rule
For every 2 equal prime factors, 1 of them can be taken out side of the root sign. The other one disappears.
sqrt(52) = sqrt(2*2* 13) = 2*sqrt(13)
Answer 2sqrt(13) <<<< answer
