Question

evaluate the function h(x) = |-2x|-9 for the given values of x a) h(4)=. b) h(-5)=. c) h(0) =

Answer 1

Answer:

h(4) = -1 ;   h(-5) = 1        h(0) = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

a)    h(x) = |-2x| - 9       Substitute x = 4

       h(4) = | -2 · 4| - 9

       h(x) = | -8| - 9

       h(4) = 8 - 9

       h(4) = -1

b)  h(x) = |-2x| - 9            Substitute x = -5

    h(-5) = |-2 · -5| - 9

    h(-5) = |-10| - 9

     h(-5) = 10 - 9

      h(-5) = 1

c)   h(x) = |-2x| - 9             Substitute x = 0

     h(0) = |-2 · 0| - 9

     h(0) = |0| - 9

     h(0) = 0 - 9

      h(0) = -9
