Absolute value and piecewise function explanation tooo plz

Because of the "x-5" in the absolute value, the pieces will separate at x=5, because that's where x-5 = 0.

(This knocks out answer #1, 3, and 4)

To confirm option #2 is correct:

If you pick a number greater than 5, the absolute value doesn't do anything, so

  if x > 5, a(x) = (x-5) + 1

If you pick a number less than 5, "x-5" is negative and the absolute value gives you the opposite of that value:

  if x < 5, a(x) = - (x-5) +1

The answer is the second option.

step-by-step explanation:

ok one would be money, and the other would be refreshments or something similar. if each bag of popcorn is 5.00 and each drink is half of that that means drinks are 2.50 the proper way to do that would to look and see how much of each you can buy without exceeding a limit of 30.00
