Q. Solve for kk.\newline0=4k0 = 4|k|\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinek=k = _____ or k=k = _____
  1. Find Absolute Value of kk: 0=4k0 = 4|k| \newlineFind the value of k|k|. \newlineDivide both sides by 44. \newline0/4=(4k)/40 / 4 = (4|k|) / 4 \newline0=k0 = |k| \newlinek=0|k| = 0
  2. Divide by 44: k=0|k| = 0 \newline Find the values of kk.\newlineIf x=a|x| = a, then x=ax = a and x=ax = -a. \newlineHowever, since k=0|k| = 0, we know that 00 is the only number that when taken absolute value equals 00. Therefore, k=0k = 0 and k=0k = -0 (which is the same as k=0k = 0).\newlineValues of kk: 00 and 00
