Answer:
—6
Explanation:
In an expression with a negative number and a positive number, the negative will come on top. This meaning the product (end piece) will be negative. In this problem despite the signs we know 3•2 is 6. Now since one number is negative (3) and the other is positive (2) negative will come out on top.

+ and + = positive
- and + = negative

“Same sign add, different sign subtract”
Add = Positive (+)
Subtract = Negative (-)
Consider the function
, which has derivative
.
The linear approximation of
for some value
within a neighborhood of
is given by
Let
. Then
can be estimated to be
Since
for
, it follows that
must be strictly increasing over that part of its domain, which means the linear approximation lies strictly above the function
. This means the estimated value is an overestimation.
Indeed, the actual value is closer to the number 3.999374902...

Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve
3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
| x - 2 | = 4
The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus
x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 6
OR
- (x - 2) = 4
- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 2
As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions
x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6
