0 =|^ - 4p|
Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.
p =
or
p =
The equation is:
0 = |^ - 4p|
To solve for p, we need to consider the two cases when the absolute value is positive (without the absolute value) and when it is negative (inside the absolute value).
Case 1: When the absolute value is positive:
^ - 4p = 0
Solving for p:
-4p = -^
p = ^/4
Case 2: When the absolute value is negative:
^ - 4p = 0
Solving for p:
-4p = ^
