Absolute value functions are v-shaped. I hthink the turning point you're referring to is the vertex. This is where the inside of the absolute value is zero.
f(x) = |x+2|
0 = x+2
-2 = x
vertex (-2,0)
The answer for this qeustion is C.
This is a fairly easy half-life problem
Each half-life reduces the radioactive material by one half.
So after 72 hours the radioactive material would have undergone 6 half-lives.
2^6 = 64.
So, there will be one sixty-fourth of the material left.
520 / 64 = 8.125 grams will remain.
radioactive decay is an exponential decay function.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Although the question is not complete, but with the context of the question, they are most likely going to ask for the total distance travelled or the total time or speed. So let's work on that.
Total time travelled = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12mins
Total speed travelled = (0.50 + 0.00 + 0.40)miles/min = 0.90mile/min
The 0.00 represents the period he was at rest admiring an antique car. At this moment, he was not moving so his speed is 0.
Total distance travelled = total speed x total time = 0.90miles/min x 12min = 10.8miles
