Question 859694: Hi there again! Keeping with my schedule with pre-calculus learning, now i'm struggling with a problem on absolute value function. Said function is this one:
f(x) = ||3x + 2| - 3|
Its an absolute value inside another absolute value!!! I stopped when i got this absolut value of a piecewise function:
g(x) =
| 3x - 1 if x >= 1/3 |
| -3x + 5 if x < 1/3 |
So, any help or hint on how to work this out i would be glad!!
