How to find the correct unit of measurement? I am struggling with this. What is the difference between ft³, ft and ft²? Example:

Answer:
This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".
The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.
So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.
In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.
We have that
A(-2,-4) B(8,1) <span>
let
M-------> </span><span>the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the ratio of 2 to 3
we know that
A--------------M----------------------B
2 3
distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
</span>distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
<span>so
step 1
find the x coordinate of point M
Mx=Ax+(2/5)*dABx
where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2
dABx=(8+2)=10
</span>Mx=-2+(2/5)*10-----> Mx=2
step 2
find the y coordinate of point M
My=Ay+(2/5)*dABy
where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4
dABy=(1+4)=5
Mx=-4+(2/5)*5-----> My=-2
the coordinates of point M is (2,-2)
