Absolute Value - Example 2

In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus |x| of a real number x is its numerical value without regard to its sign. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along a number line; this interpretation is analogous to the distance function assigned to a real number in the real number system. For example, the absolute value of ?4 is 4, and the absolute value of 4 is 4, both without regard to sign.

Using Models Use the model given to answer the questions about the object or process being modeled. The gas mileage $M($ in milgal) of a car is modeled by $M=N / G,$ where $N$ is the number of miles driven and $G$ is the number of gallons of gas used. (a) Find the gas mileage $M$ for a car that drove 240 mi on 8 gal of gas. (b) $A$ car with a gas mileage $M=25$ mi/gal is driven 175 mi. How many gallons of gas are used?

Using Models Use the model given to answer the questions about the object or process being modeled. Arizonans use an average of 40 gal of water per person each day. The number of gallons $W$ of water used by $x$ Arizonans each day is modeled by $W=40 x$ . (a) Make a table that gives the number of gallons of water used for each $1000-$ person change in population, from 0 to $5000 .$ (b) If the pressure is $30 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2},$ what is the depth? (b) What is the population of an Arizona town whose water usage is $120,000$ gal per day?

we're being asked to evaluate each of the following expressions. So let's start with number one So it says the absolute value of eight. So that means how far from zero on the number line is eight. Well, that would be eight units. So the absolute value of eight is just equal to eight now for number two, the absolute value of negative seven. While how Maney units away from zero is negative seven on the number line, while it would be seven units away. Therefore, the absolute value negative seven is equal deposit of seven now for number three, the absolute value a negative 11.2. So how maney units away from zero is negative 11.2. Well, that would be positive 11.2 units. So the absolute value of negative 11.2 is positive 11.2 and lastly, the absolute value of zero. Well, how far away from zero is zero number line? Well, you don't have to move anywhere. It's zero units away, so the absolute value of zero is just equal to zero. So no, this Whenever you take the absolute value of number, you always end up with a positive value because you're talking about distance
