Question

Can someone please help me with this maybe get a better understanding if you have the time to tell me?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value function:

• |x| = x when x >= 0.
• |x| = -x when x < 0.

Swim 3 feet under water => |-3|

Stand 20 feet above => |20|

Using the absolute value function,

we have |-3| = 3 and |20| = 20.

Since 3 is less than 20, |-3| < |20|. (C)
