Question

Use the following function rule to find f(–3). f(x) = 7 + |x| f(–3) =

Answer 1

To find \( f(-3) \) using the function rule \( f(x) = 7 + |x| \), we substitute \(-3\) for \(x\):

\[
f(-3) = 7 + |-3|
\]

Next, we calculate the absolute value of \(-3\):

\[
|-3| = 3
\]

Now we can substitute this back into the equation:

\[
f(-3) = 7 + 3
\]

Finally, we calculate the sum:

\[
f(-3) = 10
\]

Thus, the value of \( f(-3) \) is \( \boxed{10} \).
