The distance of it away from zero cannot be a negative distance, distance is always positive therefor the absolute value will always be positive.
Short answer: no, absolute value is always positive
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that this function is not defined at x = 0; it does have a vertical asymptote which is the line x = 0, as well as a horiz. asymptote which is the line y = 0. This function is odd because the power of x is -1 (a negative odd number). Half the graph appears in Quadrant I: (1, 1), (2, 1/2), (3, 1/3), etc.
The other half is the reflection of the Quadrant I part in the origin, and this is because the function is odd.
(a)
We can see that
this is a straight line
and this is the graph of velocity
we know that
acceleration is the derivative of velocity
so, slope of curve of velocity is acceleration
so, we will find slope of this line
We can select any two points
(0,4) and (5,7)
we can use slope formula

now, we can plug points


we know that slope of line is always constant irrespective of any value of t
so, acceleration will always be same irrespective of any value of t
so, we will get acceleration
............Answer
(b)
we can see that acceleration is constant
and we know that
derivative of constant is always 0
so, instantaneous rate of acceleration at t=10s is 0........Answer
