The number of hours people in the united states spent playing video games each year from 1998 to 2001 can be modeled by the function f(x)=11.9x - 46.4 where x is the number of years since 1998.

using the equation, find the exact value of f(x) (hours) when x=2. explain what the solution means in this situation.

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

6,24,51,72,12,54,80,44,57,64,92,26,66,96
