Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The square root of $w^{24}$ simplifies to $w^{12}$, but since we don't know if $w$ is positive or negative, we use absolute value to ensure the result is non-negative, hence $\left| w^{12} \right|$.

Write as an Absolute Value w24\sqrt { w ^ { 24 } }w24​

Write as an Absolute Value $\sqrt { w ^ { 24 } }$
