Answer:
a) 3c
b) ab
c) -ab
Step-by-step explanation:
For x > 0, |x| = x. This lets us remove the absolute value symbols in parts (a) and (b):
a. |3c| = 3c . . . when c > 0
b. |ab| = ab . . . when ab > 0
c. The absolute value function returns the opposite of its argument when that argument is negative:
|ab| = -ab . . . when ab < 0
