so in math i was wondering like what is the point of absolute values
to me they pretty much seem like an annoying waste of time
coincidentally mr johnson told me i needed more written content so i'm gonna write content about absolute values and what they do in math
SO EXCITING
ok so in math you probably know an absolute value as two bars that look kinda like
|x+2| = 4
so the way you would solve this is like
|x+2| = 4
(create two alternate things)
x+2=4 and x+2=-4
which gets you
x=2 or x=-6
now let's assume that neither answer is extraneous
that means the graph of the equation ( |x| +2 ) would look something like:
i know that's a different equation but i couldn't find a picture of |x+2|=4 online
that creates two alternate equal dimmensions
tomorrow i'll explain what it does in real life
because i think i've written enough for today

  1. this is fantastic! i'm glad to see that you're still thinking about math class outside of your assigned period. i'm sure your instructor would be glad too.
