(Algebra) Trouble w/ absolute values
Does |3| + |2| = |3 - 2| = 1 or does it equal 5? The book I'm reading gives me seemingly contradictory information that we're searching for the distance between |3| and |2| but then it says |3| + |2| ≠ 1
I'm not really sure how to approach the problem.

1 ReplyWhen negative is outside, number is negative When negative is inside, number is positive Just add like normal

Look at it as |(3-2)|. Worry about what's inside the absolute value symbols first; [i]then[/i] take the absolute value. |3-2| |1| 1

Hmmm... Try differentiating the function and extrapolate the equation into a polynomial and transform it into an augmented matrix and find the euclidean limit of the binomial resolution in a six dimensional hyperbolic space. That should clear things up.

Absolute value can also be described as distance from 0. It essentially works like |x|=x and |-x|= x. It's actually very simple. The number is just the same but always positive if it is absolute value. Hope that helped.

|3-2| = 1 Think of them not only as absolute value bars, but as parenthesis as well. Basically it becomes |1| = 1

Use a calculator

Uhh... 1111... 1! Wait... No.

1 ReplyJust do the problem normally, then turn it to a positive. Remember it as distance from 0. |5 - 7| = |-2| so |5 - 7| = 2
