Continuity & Differentiability · Question 86 of 125

What is f(2) for this sum of two moduli?

Question 86

EasyOriginal question

Let f(x)=∣x−1∣+∣x−3∣f(x) = \lvert x - 1 \rvert + \lvert x - 3 \rvert.

What is f(2)f(2) for this sum of two moduli?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. ∣2−1∣+∣2−3∣=1+1\lvert 2 - 1 \rvert + \lvert 2 - 3 \rvert = 1 + 1.

  2. f(2)=2f(2) = 2.

Worth noting

0 drops the modulus on 2−3=−12 - 3 = -1.
