Definition

The absolute value function, denoted as f(x) = |x|, returns the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. Graphically, it forms a V-shape centered at the origin.

Definition

An absolute value function is a function that contains an algebraic expression within absolute value symbols. It is defined as 

$$ f(x) = |x| $$

where |x| denotes the absolute value ofx.

Description

The absolute value function is significant in mathematics because it measures the distance of a number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. This function is linear in nature, as it can be broken into two linear pieces: one for 

$$ x \geq 0 $$

 and one for 

$$ x < 0 $$
