absolute value of an expression

44 Views Asked by At

This might sound like a really obvious question, but I wanted to make sure.

Is the absolute value of the expression (-x-1)/(x²+1) = (x+1)/(x²+1) because you can take the minus out and make the expression -(x+1)/(x²+1) and then the absolute value removes the minus sign? Or would it simply be (x-1)/(x²+1)?
