MHB I need to review modulus function

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the modulus function through a specific equation: 14 - 9|x - 8| = 15. Participants suggest isolating the absolute value expression to solve the equation effectively. Clarification is sought on the steps to take, particularly in manipulating the equation. The importance of showing one's thought process in solving the problem is emphasized to facilitate better guidance. Overall, the conversation aims to assist in grasping the concept of modulus functions in preparation for upcoming exams.

The link you posted has nothing to do with your specific question, so I removed it. It strikes me as an attempt to spam us. However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Can you show us what you think you should do? Perhaps you should isolate the absolute valued expression...what do you find?
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
