| So let's take an x <= 0, namely x = -9
| Then we have:
| sqrt( x^2 ) = sqrt( (-9)^2 ) = sqrt(81) = 9 = - (-9) = - x
| Wrong?
|
| And let's take another one, namely x = 0
| Then we have:
| sqrt( x^2 ) = sqrt( (0)^2 ) = sqrt(0) = 0 = -0 = - x
| Wrong?
|
| You really think this is wrong:
| sqrt(x^2) = x for all x >= 0
| sqrt(x^2) = -x for all x <= 0
| ?

"-sqrt(4) = -2" - Vdm
"sqrt(x^2) = -x" - Vdm
Priceless....
