Answer

$f(x)=\left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -x+15 & \quad \text{for } x \lt 0 \\ x+15 & \quad \text{for }x \geq 0 \end{array} \right.$

Work Step by Step

We know that $|x|=\left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -x & \quad x \lt 0 \\ x & \quad x \geq 0 \end{array} \right.$ Given $y=f(x)=|x|+15$ So, writing $f(x)$ as a piecewise function, we have $f(x)=\left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -x+15 & \quad \text{for } x \lt 0 \\ x+15 & \quad \text{for }x \geq 0 \end{array} \right.$
