Understanding the Absolute Value.

First, know what the absolute value is.

The absolute value is the value that determines how far the value is from 0.

For example, The absolute value of -5 is far from 0 5 units. Therefore the absolute value of -5 equals 5.

Basic Absolute Value Defines

| a | = a

- | a | = -a

| - a | = a

Back to the question. To evaluate those expressions, we use the defines of absolute value.

|-16| = 16

|-1| = 1

16-(1)

Then remove the brackets. 16 - 1 = 15

Therefore, the answer is 15.

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em> </em><em>above</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>when</em><em> </em><em>being</em><em> </em><em>subtracted</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>evaluated</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>16</em><em>-</em><em>1</em>

<em>Evaluating</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>each</em><em> </em><em>expressions</em><em> </em><em>would</em><em> </em><em>be</em>

<em>|</em><em>-</em><em>16</em><em>|</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>16</em>

<em>-</em><em>|</em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>|</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em>

\bf sin^{-1}(some\ value)=\theta \impliedby \textit{this simply means}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sin(\theta )=some\ value\qquad \textit{now, also bear in mind that}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\qquad &#10;\qquad &#10;% tangent&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf sin^{-1}\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)=\theta \impliedby \textit{this simply means that}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sin(\theta )=\cfrac{2}{5}\cfrac{\leftarrow opposite}{\leftarrow hypotenuse}\qquad \textit{now let's find the adjacent side}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;c=hypotenuse\\&#10;a=adjacent\\&#10;b=opposite\\&#10;\end{cases}

\bf \pm \sqrt{5^2-2^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{21}=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{we don't know if it's +/-, so we'll assume is the + one}\quad \sqrt{21}=a\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\qquad \qquad tan(\theta)=\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{21}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{and now, let's rationalize the denominator}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{21}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{21}}{\sqrt{21}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{21}}{(\sqrt{21})^2}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{21}}{21}&#10;

I believe you did it correctly but over the wrong line. You were supposed to do it over line M and it looks like you did it over the X-axis.</span>
