How does the graph of a linear function compare with an absolute value function?

In contrast, linear equations can describe values that are negative, zero or positive. As a result, the range of an absolute value function is zero and all positive numbers, while the range of a linear equation is all numbers.

The function inside the absolute value is NOT linear, therefore the graph contains curves.

-14 is the answer

hope this : ))

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
