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:
9) 28
10) 22
Step-by-step explanation:
collinear means on the same line
9 ) AB+BC=AC
16+12=28
10) 13+9=22
Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y = -1
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
(2)x + (2)2y = (2)(-1)
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
2x + 4y = -2
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
7x = 14
<=>
x = 2
(*)x + 2y = -1
=> 2 + 2y = -1
=> 2y = -3
=> y = -1.5
=> (x, y) = (2, -1.5)
