Absolute value - practice problems
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, always expressed as a non-negative value. Denoted by vertical bars |x|, it equals x when x ≥ 0 and -x when x < 0. Absolute value transforms negative numbers to positive while leaving positive numbers unchanged. Equations and inequalities involving absolute value often split into multiple cases based on the sign of the expression inside. Graphically, y = |x| creates a V-shape centered at the origin. Applications include measuring distances, errors, deviations, and defining metrics in various mathematical contexts.Remember: Solve each problem thoughtfully and make sure to show your complete solution for every question.
