in absolute value i kno that a negative number then turns to positive...but wat if theres a subtraction sign is that included too?
Example: (PARENTHESIS ARE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE SIGNS) (2-1)
dont be too complicated plz and thank u!!!
you would just get 1
well u make it sound easy lol...thnx
haha youre welcome!
Use the pipe symbol for the absolute marks.
|2-1| = |1| = 1
A different problem follows:
|-2+1| = |-1| = 1
Of course! I'm here to help simplify things for you.
The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. When we have a negative number inside the absolute value, the negative sign is ignored, and the result is always positive.
Now, let's look at your example: (2-1).
To find the absolute value of this expression, we need to evaluate (2-1) first. In this case, we subtract 1 from 2, which gives us 1. So, the expression simplifies to just the number 1.
Since 1 is a positive number, the absolute value of 1 is also 1. Therefore, the absolute value of (2-1) is 1.
To summarize, when dealing with absolute value, the subtraction sign inside the parentheses doesn't affect the result. We evaluate the expression inside the absolute value first, and then take the absolute value of that result.
