Which statement correctly describes this expression |x^3|+ 5 A . 5 more than the absolute value of the cube of a number
B . The cube of the sum of a number and 5
C . The absolute value of three times a number added to 5
D . The same of the absolute value of three times a number and 5

Option A

5 more than the absolute value of the cube of a number

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to break down the algebraic expression into two parts to understand it.

The first part is |x^3|.

The function x^3 refers to the cube of a number.

The two straight lines enclosing the expression is an absolute value function. This function is used to ensure that only the positive numerical value of an expression is used. The |  | operation makes sure that even if the answer from an expression is negative, the negativity will be discarded and the output from the function will now be positive.

Finally, the last part is the addition of 5 to the output obtained from the above function.

Hence, the function can be described by 5 more than the absolute value of the cube of a number

a² + b²= c²

24² + 7² = c²

c= 25
