Full solution

Q. Solve for uu.\newline0=4u0 = 4|u|\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlineu=u = _____ or u=u = _____
  1. Find u|u|: 0=4u0 = 4|u| \newlineFind the value of u|u|. \newlineDivide both sides by 44. \newline04=4u4\frac{0}{4} = \frac{4|u|}{4} \newline0=u0 = |u|
  2. Calculate u|u|: u=0|u| = 0 \newlineFind the values of uu.\newlineIf x=a|x| = a, then x=ax = a and x=ax = -a. \newlineSince u=0|u| = 0, uu can only be 00 because the absolute value of a number is always non-negative.\newlineValues of uu: 00 and 00 (which are essentially the same value).
