Evaluate each expression if $m = 鈭� 8, n = 4,$ and $p = 鈭� 12$ .
$|3 m 鈭� n|$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of the expression is $28$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Plug the values of the variables.

A variable is a letter or a literal used to signify an unknown quantity.

We are given the expression $|3 m 鈭� n|$ and $m = 鈭� 8, n = 4,$ plugging these values:

We get:

$| 3 (鈭� 8) 鈭� 4 |$

Step 2. Simplify the expression.

$\begin{array}{l} | 3 (鈭� 8) 鈭� 4 | \\ | 鈭� 24 鈭� 4 | \\ | 鈭� 28 | \end{array}$

Step 3. Apply the definition of absolute function.

The absolute value or modulus of a real number x, denoted $|x|$ , it is the non-negative value of $x$ without regard to its sign.

$|x| = x$ if $x$ is positive,

$|x| = 鈭� x$ if $x$ is negative,

$|0| = 0$ .

For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of 鈭�5 is also 5.

We have the expression $| 鈭� 28 |$ now using definition of absolute value function we get:

$| 鈭� 28 | = 28$

Thus, the value of the expression is $28$ .
