      He could easily have made one that gives another answer where you still have -6 and 6 and that the answer lands on either 2 or 8 just because you see the two numbers as in the option you can’t guess it correctly all the time so therefore your chances are 25% to get the correct answer if you just guess and don’t do calculations

The more you know the more you can make, especially if the game you're working on has proper physics and, for some reason you hate yourself so much you want to get into Quaternions, definitely not talking by experience.

    Absolute value does NOT just remove a negative sign. The absolute value is the distance from zero. for all real numbers, there is no distinction, but the way that it is described in the video does not work for stuff like |1+i| because you can't do anything with the i. For problems with imaginary numbers, you must imagine a plane with real numbers as one axis and imaginary numbers as the other. You then use the distance formula to find the absolute value.

      @@hakarmalm7756 I mean how could you these sums in class 12 or the high school, like I am in class 9 and I am shocked, when do u guys learn trigonometry and calculus, permutations and combinations. Btw I am actually from India, idk how u know. I am just 13 years and could do these sums all day long(No showoff, no offense, its ok if are not good at mathematics, you might be good at sports or other things and if u are u shouldn't click on a mathematics video I gues, sorry if it hurts you anyways and I don't know good English so there might be some grammatical mistakes).

    Shouldn't it be 8?

    • @n.cookie1
      @n.cookie1 Рік тому

      No, since we already removed the absolute value signs on the second step. So, 1 - 7 = -6, and |-6| is 6

    Are we not going to multiply the negative sign to negative sign?

      No, absolute just removes the negative sign inside (after doing all the operations)

      You need to evaluate whatever is in the absolute value first ( |-7| = 7). Are you stupid?
