Algebra.Com's Answer #778388 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the expression is positive, then the absolute value of the expression will be the expression. \n" ); document.write( "if the expression is negative, then the absoolute value of the expression will be minus the expression. \n" ); document.write( "when x = -1/2, abs(-1/2) = -1 * -1/2 = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "when x = 1/2, abs(1/2) = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "in both cases, abs(x) = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "when you solve for x, you do the following: \n" ); document.write( "if x is positive, then abs(x) = 1/2 becomes x = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "when x is negative, then abs(x) = 1/2 becomes -x = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x = -1/2 \n" ); document.write( "what this says is that, when absw(x) = 1/2, then x = plus or minus 1/2. \n" ); document.write( "in both cases, abs(x) will be equal to 1/2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's a reference, one of several that can be found on the internet.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "https://www.purplemath.com/modules/solveabs.htm\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
