Not necessarily. the absolute value of a number is that number's distance from 0 on a number line. if your taking the absolute value of a negative value, what you stated would be true. however, what if you took the absolute value of a positive number? hope that answers your question.

Answer:</h3>
f(x) = -(x -2)² +3
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can fill in the vertex (h, k) values immediately in the vertex form ...
... f(x) = a(x -h)² +k
To find the value of a, we solve the equation for a at some point other than the vertex. The given point is (0, -1), so we can use that:
... -1 = a(0 -2)² +3
... -4 = 4a . . . . . . . . . subtract 3, simplify
... -1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Now, we know the function is ...
... f(x) = -(x -2)² +3
The mean is the average, which is the sum of all the numbers divided by the total numbers there are. I will add them up for you, and then work from there.
184 + 192 + 164 + 200 = 740.
There is 740cm total, but now we need to divide by how many students we have. We have 4 students total.
740/4 = 185.
Your average (mean) height of the students is 185cm.
I hope this helps!
The square root of 25 is 5.
Your just trying to find what number you can multiply with its self to make that number. So 5x5 = 25
Another example is lets say 64, the square root of 64 is 8 because 8x8 = 64.
Hope this makes sense!!
