Question

Which of the following is the value of a when the function f(x)=3lxl is written in the standard form of an absolute value function?

–1

–3

1

3

Answer 1

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, the coefficient of the absolute value is the "a" of interest. It is 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an absolute value function is g(x)=a|x-h|+k

So, the value of a when the function f(x)=3|x| is written in the standard form of an absolute value function is 3 and the values of h and k are equal to zero.
