Answer :

When we open the brackets of an absolute value we get the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \lvert g(x)\rvert \\ g(x),g(x)\ge0\text{ and }-g(x),g(x)<0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So in this case we have:

[tex]\lvert11-3x\rvert[/tex]

After open the absolute balue we get two expressions. The first one is:

[tex]11-3x,\text{ }11-3x>0[/tex]

And the second one is:

[tex]-11+3x,\text{ }11-3x\leq0[/tex]

So let's work with the inequalities of each case. The one in the first case is:

[tex]11-3x>0[/tex]

We can add 3x to both sides:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 11-3x+3x>0+3x \\ 11>3x \end{gathered}[/tex]

And we divide both sides by 3:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{11}{3}>\frac{3x}{3} \\ \frac{11}{3}>x \end{gathered}[/tex]

The inequality in the second case is:

[tex]11-3x\leq0[/tex]

We can add 3x to both sides:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 11-3x+3x\leq0+3x \\ 11\leq3x \end{gathered}[/tex]

And divide by 3:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{11}{3}\leq\frac{3x}{3} \\ \frac{11}{3}\leq x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then the two parts of the function are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 11-3x,x<\frac{11}{3} \\ -11+3x,x\ge\frac{11}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then the answers are the second and fourth options.
