Example Question #81 : High School Math
Solve the expression below.
For an absolute value, the term inside the bars will always become positive.
Example Question #82 : High School Math
Solve the expression below.
For an absolute value, the term inside the bars will always become positive.
Example Question #3 : How To Do Absolute Value In Pre Algebra
Solve the absolute value expression.
Simplify the absolute value, as if it were a parenthesis.
The absolute value of is . Remember that absolute values are always positive.
Example Question #83 : High School Math
Is the inequality below true or false?
False; the sign should be changed to "less than"
The answer cannot be determined
False; the two terms are equal
True
True
An absolute value is always the positive solution.
We can compare the terms by substituting the positive value of , and solving the right side of the inequality.
The inequality is a true expression.
Example Question #5 : How To Do Absolute Value In Pre Algebra
Evaluate
To solve problems with absolute value, first solve inside the absolute value signs. .
The absolute value of is because the negative sign is inside the absolute value signs. Remember the absolute value is the distance from that number to zero on the number line. Therefore, the absolute value is always positive.
Example Question #6 : How To Do Absolute Value In Pre Algebra
Evaluate the expression.
First, treat the absolute value as a parenthesis, and evaluate the term inside.
The absolute value of any term is its distance from zero. A distance cannot be negative, thus, any negative term in an absolute value will be converted to a positive term.
Example Question #84 : High School Math
The absolute value of a number can be thought of as its distance from zero. is three units away from zero. Therefore, .
Example Question #8 : How To Do Absolute Value In Pre Algebra
The absolute value of a number can be thought of as its distance from zero.
We start by solving the expression inside the absolute value signs and then measure how far that is from zero.
is three units away from zero. Therefore,
Example Question #85 : High School Math
The absolute value of a number can be thought of as its distance from zero.
We start by solving the expression inside the absolute value signs and then measure how far that is from zero.
is two units away from zero. Therefore
Example Question #10 : How To Do Absolute Value In Pre Algebra
The absolute value of a number can be thought of as its distance from zero.
We start by solving the expression inside the absolute value signs and then measure how far that is from zero.
is units away from zero. That means that
