Answer:

Absolute value means the distance between a number and 0.

Examples:

The absolute value of -7 is 7.

The absolute value of 5 is 5.

Key Concepts:

The absolute value sign is |x|, where x is any real number.

The absolute value removes any negative sign in front of a number.

Absolute value is an important math concept to understand. To represent the absolute value of a number, we use a vertical bar on either side of the number. Absolute value means "distance from zero" on a number line. Let's try an example to understand how absolute value works.

What is the absolute value of 4 and -4?

To find the absolute value of 4, we know that 4 is 4 units from zero on a number line. Therefore, the absolute value of 4 is 4.

For the absolute value of -4, we know that -4 is also 4 units from zero on the number line. Therefore, the absolute value of -4 is also 4.

Another way that I like to think about absolute value is no matter what number you have inside the absolute value, the result will always be positive. In other words, the absolute value of any number is the positive version of that number.

Which sum or difference identity would you use to verify that cos (180° - q) = -cos q?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

\cos (a-b)=\cos a \cos b+\sin a \sin b

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : \cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos q

We have to write which identity we will use to prove the given statement.

Consider \cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos q

Take left hand side of given expression \cos (180^{\circ}-q)

We know

\cos (a-b)=\cos a \cos b+\sin a \sin b

Comparing , we get, a= 180° and b = q

Substitute , we get,

\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=\cos 180^{\circ}  \cos (q)+\sin q \sin 180^{\circ}

Also, we know \sin 180^{\circ}=0 and \cos 180^{\circ}=-1

Substitute, we get,

\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-1\cdot \cos (q)+\sin q \cdot 0

Simplify , we get,

\cos (180^{\circ}-q)=-\cos (q)

Hence, use difference identity to  prove the given result.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

There is no real solution

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are finding the square root of a number, it cannot be negative. No number can be multiplied by itself to get a negative number. Negative numbers multiplied with themselves make a positive number. Positive numbers are obviously going to stay positive. Therefore there is no square root of -9
