Question

Rewrite each of the following expressions without using absolute value |3c| if c≥0

Answer 1

Answer: 3c

Explanation: Since the variable c is nonnegative, this means |c| = c, and also |3c| = 3c. The absolute value bars don't change the input because the input is never negative. It's like saying |5| = 5.

Answer 2

The expression without absolute value is 3c.

Since c is greater than or equal to 0, we can simply remove the absolute

value bars and retain the expression as 3c.

In other words, if c is non-negative, then its absolute value is simply c itself.

Therefore, the expression without absolute value is 3c.
