Because the absolute value makes anything positive so -11 to 11 and -7 to 7 which would mean that 11 >7 and -11<-7

When looking at the -7 and -11 it's like looking at a timeline you see the numbers from left to right so you would look at the -11 first and then the -7. whenever a number has the two lines it's the absolute value so you would ignore the negative signs and it would just be the number.

Simplify the expression (k2)4

lilavasa [31]

4 times 2= 8. so, 4times k2 = k8. To understand this better, imagine that k equaled 2. That would make the expression above = (2x2)4, which would equal 16. However, since we don't know the value of k, we have to use the numbers that we already have, It would be like solving the expression: (2x2)4 without multiplying the first 2. It would then be 2x8. So, we just simplified it, we didn't solve it.
