- 3. WHAT IS ABSOLUTE VALUE? Absolute value describes the distance from zero that a number is on the number line, without considering direction. The absolute value of a number is never negative. In general, given any algebraic expression x and any positive number p If |x|=p then x=−p or x=p In other words, the argument of the absolute value x can be either positive or negative p (Use this theorem to solve absolute value equations algebraically.)
- 4. WHAT IS ABSOLUTE VALUE? Remember: The absolute value is always POSITIVE • The absolute value of 5 is 5. The distance from 5 to 0 is 5 units. What is the distance from 0 to 5? What is the distance from 0 to -5? • The absolute value of -5 is 5. The distance from -5 to 0 is 5 units.

Editor's Notes
- #3: ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Given this definition, |3|=3 and |−3|=−(−3)=3. Therefore, the equation |x|=3 has two solutions for x, namely {±3}
- #4: ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Begin the lesson by reviewing the concept of absolute value. Definition: Explain that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line, regardless of direction.
- #5: ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Example: |x| represents the absolute value of x. Show examples: |3| = 3 and |-3| = 3.
- #6: ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Ask students to provide real-life examples where absolute value is used (e.g., distance, temperature differences). Real-Life Examples and Applications of Absolute Value Measuring Distance: Absolute value is used to measure the distance between two points on a number line or coordinate plane. Since distance is always a non-negative quantity, the absolute value ensures that it is represented as such. Example: The distance between two cities located at positions 5 km and -3 km on a number line can be calculated as ∣5−(−3)∣=∣5+3∣=8|5 - (-3)| = |5 + 3| = 8∣5−(−3)∣=∣5+3∣=8 km. Temperature Differences: Absolute value is used to find the difference in temperature, regardless of whether the temperatures are above or below zero. Example: If the temperature is -10°C in the morning and 5°C in the afternoon, the temperature change is ∣−10−5∣=∣−15∣=15|-10 - 5| = |-15| = 15∣−10−5∣=∣−15∣=15°C. Finance and Economics: Absolute value is used to calculate profit and loss, where the focus is on the magnitude of change rather than the direction (gain or loss). Example: If a stock's value changes from $150 to $100, the absolute change is ∣150−100∣=50|150 - 100| = 50∣150−100∣=50 dollars. Engineering and Physics: In physics, absolute value is used in formulas involving distance, speed, and force, where only the magnitude is of interest. Example: When calculating the displacement of an object, absolute value ensures the result is non-negative, even if the direction of movement changes. Navigation and GPS Systems: Absolute value is used in navigation to calculate the shortest path between two points, regardless of their relative positions. Example: A GPS calculates the absolute distance to determine how far a vehicle has traveled from its starting point, regardless of direction. Data Science and Statistics: Absolute value is used to measure deviations and differences from a mean or expected value. Example: The mean absolute deviation (MAD) measures the average distance between each data point and the mean, giving an idea of data spread. Medicine: Absolute value is used in medical diagnostics to measure the deviation of vital signs from normal values. Example: Calculating the absolute difference between a patient’s heart rate and the normal range helps in assessing health conditions. Earthquake Measurement: The Richter scale uses absolute values to measure the magnitude of earthquakes. The scale focuses on the absolute energy released, regardless of the location's positive or negative coordinates. Gaming: In video games, absolute value may be used to determine the shortest path between characters or objects on a grid, or to calculate health points lost or gained in gameplay. Construction and Architecture: Absolute values are used to calculate dimensions and tolerances, where only the magnitude of a measurement matters. Example: The absolute difference between a design blueprint and the actual construction measurements helps identify deviations and ensure accuracy. Summary Absolute value is used in various real-life situations to measure distance, calculate differences, and determine magnitude, ensuring that results are always non-negative. This makes it a critical tool in fields ranging from navigation and finance to science and engineering.
