If |2x +1| = 2 |k - x|, for all values of x, what is the value of |k|?

9514 1404 393

  k = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

On the right, we can distribute the 2, so we have ...

   |2x +1| = |2k -2x|

We can multiply inside the brackets on the right by -1 with no effect:

  |2x +1| = |-2k +2x|

Comparing the expressions now, we see they are equivalent when ...

  1 = -2k

  k = -1/2

In the attached graph, the left-side expression is red; the right-side expression is blue dots (when k = -1/2).

ok
