condition for absolute value of a number x :
|x|= -x if x<0
|x|= x if x≥0
properties:
1. |xy|= |x| |y|
2. |x/y|= |x|/|y|
3. |x±y|≤ |x| + |y|
4. |x±y|≥ | |x| - |y| |
5. the inequality |x|≤ a means that -a≤x≤a
6. the inequality |x|≥a means that x≥a or x≤ -a
The properties given by equations (2)-(4) are readily apparent from the definition. To see that equation (5) holds, choose {\displaystyle \varepsilon } from {\displaystyle \{-1,1\}} so that {\displaystyle \varepsilon (a+b)\geq 0}. Since {\displaystyle \varepsilon x\leq |x|} for real {\displaystyle x} regardless of the value of {\displaystyle \varepsilon }chosen, (5) follows from the calculation {\displaystyle |a+b|=\varepsilon (a+b)=\varepsilon a+\varepsilon b\leq |a|+|b|}. (For a generalization of this argument to complex numbers, see "Proof of the triangle inequality for complex numbers" below.)
Some additional useful properties are given below. These properties are either implied by or equivalent to the properties given by equations (2)-(5).
