Question

Simplify, and write the given number without using absolute values.
absolute value(sqrt7-7)

Wouldn't be 7 sqrt7 ?

Answer 1

\[\left| \sqrt{7}-7 \right|\]

Answer 2

7 - sqrt(7)

It is that because 7 is greater than sqrt(7) and when the subtraction is done in that order, you will be guaranteed to have a positive number.
