1. Absolute Values and Radicals
Finding the absolute value of a number and dealing with radicals

2. The absolute value of a number would basically be squaring the same number than rooting it.
For example: To get the abs value of 5 would be to square it: 25 then root it: 5
Pretty simple, you would get the same number each time. What about a negative number?
Squaring: -5 would be 25 then rooting: 5.
Yep, that’s what you do, getting the absolute value of the number would be getting the positive distance of a number
if you were to think about it on a number line.

3. A radical (√) is a sign for the nth root of a number, it means it always involves roots.
This would be a radical equation:
But this isn’t:
Solving a radical equation essentially means isolating ‘x’ and undoing the equation.
