@TheEdwardsFamily what do you think the answer(s) are?
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
I said it C & D
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
or may be b too i guess
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
How far away from 0 is 1/5? It is only .2 away from 0, so that can't be an answer.
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
ok. so A & B?

-1/5 is still only .2 away from 0
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
oh yea thats right
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
We need the absolute value of x, so if you substitute -5 for x, it is 5 away from 0, the absolute value is 5. Same for +5
OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
hmmmm.........so its accurate for it to be C & B?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
mhmm :)
