Absolute value

In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus of a real number , denoted , is the non-negative value of without regard to its sign. Namely, if x is a positive number, and if is negative (in which case negating makes positive), and . For example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of −3 is also 3. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero. Generalisations of the absolute value for real numbers occur in a wide variety of mathematical settings. For example, an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields and vector spaces. The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts. (Wikipedia).

Proof: Reverse Triangle Inequality Theorem | Real Analysis

The reverse triangle inequality tells us how the absolute value of the difference of two real numbers relates to the absolute value of the difference of their absolute values. In particular, |x-y| is greater than or equal to | |x| - |y| |. We'll prove this result in today's lesson. We'll n

Proof: Limit Law for Quotient of Convergent Sequences | Real Analysis

We prove the limit law for the quotient of convergent sequences. If a_n converges to a and b_n converges to b, then the sequence a_n/b_n converges to a/b, provided that b isn't 0, and each b_n is not 0. Put simply, the quotient of convergent sequences converges to the quotient of their lim
