Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
1, 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20
median = 7
Answer:
The coordinates are (0,b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the coordinates of the midpoint F
as we can see, F is between A and B
we proceed to use the midpoint formula
The midpoint formula is;
(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2
(x1,y1) = (-3a, b)
(x2,y2) = (3a, b)
The substitution of these values will thus yield;
(-3a + 3a)/2, (b + b)/2
= (0/2), (2b/2)
= (0, b)
