Math Problem Statement

If g(x) = 4|x-3|+2. Find g(1).

Solution

To find g(1)g(1), we substitute x=1x = 1 into the function g(x)=4x3+2g(x) = 4|x - 3| + 2.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Start with the function: g(x)=4x3+2g(x) = 4|x - 3| + 2
  2. Substitute x=1x = 1: g(1)=413+2g(1) = 4|1 - 3| + 2
  3. Simplify inside the absolute value: g(1)=42+2g(1) = 4| -2 | + 2
  4. The absolute value of 2-2 is 22, so: g(1)=4(2)+2g(1) = 4(2) + 2
  5. Multiply: g(1)=8+2g(1) = 8 + 2
  6. Add: g(1)=10g(1) = 10

Thus, g(1)=10g(1) = 10.
