Evaluating Expressions Involving Absolute Value

Key Concept: Absolute Value of Variables

Words For any real number x, if x is positive or zero,


then the absolute value of x is x. If x is negative,
then the absolute value of x is the opposite of x.
Symbols For any real number x, if , and
if .
Examples If , then .

Write an Absolute Value Expression

This expression is equivalent to the accuracy of a


meat thermometer because it represents the
difference between the measurements, and it is
always positive because it is the absolute value of the
difference.
This expression is not equivalent to the accuracy of a
meat thermometer in all cases because if , then is
negative.
