Algebra-1

To find the value of k in the function f(x) = −∣x + 5∣+ 8, we can analyze the function in the context of its general form.

 

The general form of an absolute value function is:

f(x) = a∣x − h∣+ k

 

The given function is: f(x) = −∣x + 5∣+ 8

 

Identify the Parameters

Coefficient a: The coefficient of the absolute value term is −1.

Horizontal Shift h: In this case...
