Find a formula for h’(x), where h(x)= (absolute vale of x-4) + (absolute value of x-8).

Hint: h(x) may not be differentiable at x=4 or 8.

I need h’(x) if x

i dont understand.. you already have the formula h(x)= /x-4/ + /x-8/ (/ is absoluate value sign) sorry i would help but i dont get the question

I need h’(x) if x

Absolute value of (x-4) = (x+4)
Absolute value of (x-8) = (x+8)

H = 2x+12?

If I’m understanding the problem right… =P

i dont think you have the absolute value part right but i didn’t understand it either haha but the av of x-4 is not x+4

Well, absolute value of -4 is 4, so I assumed…

The absolute value of x-4 is x+4…

absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. absolute value of 4-5 is 1 absoluet value of 5-4 is 1 etc

Yeah, the absolute value is the MAXIMUM value of the numbah. :3

I think I’m right… >.>

Ihicmi, just graph it out.

The derivative of something inside of an absolute value goes to something like this:
If y(x) = |x-a| the y’(x) = (x-a)/|x-a|.
So your answer would be : h’(x) = (x-4)/|x-4| + (x-8)/|x-8|
It is not continuous (divide by 0) at 4 or 8 so the derivative does not exist there.
