Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>

Answer:
The function is negative for all real values of x where -6< x < -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 6)
The graph of the function is as shown in the attached figure.
As shown, we can deduce the following:
The function is positive for all real values of x where x > -2 and x < -6
The function is zero at x = -2 and x = -6
The function is negative for all real values of x where -6 < x <-2
Compare the observations to the given statements:
So, The true statement is The function is negative for all real values of x where -6 < x <-2
Answer:
408 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding together all the sides + bases, it would be
(15×6) + (8×15) + (10×15) + (6×8 /2) + (6×8 /2) = 408
