"We use different formulas to find the distance of a segment on a number line, d=|a−b|, and the distance of a segment in the coo

rdinate plane, d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√. Why is it necessary to use the absolute value of the difference when finding the distance on a number line, but not necessary when finding the differences of the coordinates in the coordinate plane?"

Distances are considered to be non-negative in all cases.

The absolute value function is necessary to get a positive result when the difference of coordinate values is negative.

The square root function is defined to return a positive result always, so no absolute value function is required when the distance is found using the square root function.

Answer:

For example, if given a graph, you could use the vertical line test; if a vertical line intersects the graph more than once, then the relation that the graph represents is not a function.

Hi! I'm Jenny and I'm a mathematician! I'd love to help you with this problem! :)

Lets get started...

I'll write the equation out for you!

x + x(xx)

Put the value of x = 2 in the above expression we get,

2 + 2(22)

= 2 + 2(2 × 2)

= 2 + 2(4)

= 2 + 8

= 10
