Question

Use the following function rule to find f(–4.41). f(x) = |x + 8.11| Write your answer as a decimal or whole number. f(–4.41) =

Answer 1

To find \( f(-4.41) \) using the function rule \( f(x) = |x + 8.11| \), we will substitute \(-4.41\) for \(x\).

First, calculate \(-4.41 + 8.11\):

\[
-4.41 + 8.11 = 3.70
\]

Now apply the absolute value:

\[
f(-4.41) = |3.70| = 3.70
\]

Thus,

\[
f(-4.41) = 3.70
\]
