Question 342590
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Look at the definition of absolute value:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |x|\ =\ \left\{\ \ x\text{ if }x\ \geq\ 0\cr-x\text{ if }x\ <\ \,0\right]


I'm sure you will agree that -327 is less than zero.  Therefore:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left|-327\right|\ =\ -(-327)\ =\ 327]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
