Document Summary

Definition: the absolute value of a real number x, written as |x|, is defined as follows: We think of |x| as the distance if x from 0. For any two real numbers x,y , x+ y x + y . X+ y x + y x+ y 2 . X+ y 2 x 2+2 x y + y 2 x+ y 2 x2+2 x y + y2. Proof: for any a, a |a| and so far a=xy as xy x y xy xy 2xy 2 x y . X2+2xy+ y2 x2+2 xy + y2=x2+2 x y + y2. X+ y 2 x 2+2 x y + y 2 (as a 2=a2. *by proposition, we can apply square roots x+ y x +|y|. Example: find a number m such that x3 4 x2+7 m whenever x 3. Solution: for any x, x3 4 x2+7 x3+( 4 x2)+7 . X 3+ 4 x 2+7 since x 3, 33+ 4 3 2+7.
