Mathematics: Introduction to
Absolute Value of a number (x):
|x|
If you wanted to dig a hole five feet deep, and put a fence post up that would
stand five feet off of the ground (five feet high), how much wood would you need?
Let
’
s draw the distance between
-
5 (the hole
’
s depth) and 5 (the height of the
fence post)
in two different ways: (
volunteers
?)
How far is the bottom of the hole from the ground?
How far is the top of the fence post from the ground?
What is the total distance (to tell us how much wood to cut)?
So how much would do we need for the fence p
ost?
As an equation, that looks like
|
-
5| +
|5| = ?
So, Abs. Value of X (
|x|
)
is the Distance from 0 to the number represented by the variable X.
What does this have to do with calendars? What calendars have a year 0?
Do online Absolute Value
exercise, after logging in...
