Can you say that M bn bn MSolutionYes we can say that M
Can you say that |M - b_n| = |b_n - M|
Solution
Yes, we can say that | M - bn | = | bn - M |
As | x | means absolute value of x, | x | = | - x |.
So, for M > bn , M < bn or M = bn,
| M - bn | = | bn - M |
For example, if M = 3 and B = 2,
| M - bn | = | 3 - 2 | = | 1 | = 1
| bn - M| = | 2 - 3 | = | - 1 | = 1
Thus, | M - bn | = | bn - M |
