The absolute value or magnitude of a real number a is denoted by $\"abs%28a%29\"$ and is defined by $\"a\"$ if $\"a%3E0\"$ and by $\"-a\"$ if $\"a%3C0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28-136%2A+61%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= $\"abs%28-8296%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= $\"-%28-8296%29\"$ since $\"-8296%3C0+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= $\"8296\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
