is the sqaure root of x squared equivalent to the absolute value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is not, they are two entirely different things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh nvm, I didn't see the x^2 part, you are right then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then it is equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since the square root of x^2 is always x, and x^2 is always positive, then they must be equal, because the absolute value of x is just positive x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks smokey.

Yup, no problem! But I make too many mistakes T_T
