f(k) = |k| − 2

Question

k f(k)
–300
–290
–280
–270

Answer 1

To calculate \( f(k) = |k| - 2 \) for the given values of \( k \), we will determine the value of \( f(k) \) for each given \( k \):

1. For \( k = -300 \): \[ f(-300) = |-300| - 2 = 300 - 2 = 298 \]

2. For \( k = -290 \): \[ f(-290) = |-290| - 2 = 290 - 2 = 288 \]

3. For \( k = -280 \): \[ f(-280) = |-280| - 2 = 280 - 2 = 278 \]

4. For \( k = -270 \): \[ f(-270) = |-270| - 2 = 270 - 2 = 268 \]

Now we can summarize the results in a table format:

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline k & f(k) \ \hline -300 & 298 \ -290 & 288 \ -280 & 278 \ -270 & 268 \ \hline \end{array} \]
