How to enter an absolute value in a geometry artboard

In the process of mathematics teaching, we will encounter various concepts, various symbols. The absolute value is a more common mathematical symbol, whether it is in algebra or in geometry. Therefore, in the process of using geometry artboards , many teachers need to enter this symbol. Absolute value with "| |" , but some teachers who touch the geometry of the artboard can not know how to play. Here's a tutorial on how to enter an absolute value in a geometry artboard?

First, hit the absolute value symbol

Method One: Using the computer keyboard input

Step to open the geometry artboard, select the left toolbar "text Tool", on the right of the blank area of the artboard to double-click a box, where the cursor is flashing, at this time we can enter their desired text or numbers.

Select Text tool to bring up the text box example

Step two press and hold the "Shift" key on the keyboard while pressing the "|" button on the keyboard at the same time. So that the absolute value symbol is typed.

Method two: Using mathematical symbols Panel input

Step one opens the geometry artboard, selects the Left toolbar "text Tool", and a box appears in the blank area of the artboard on the right, where the text toolbar below the artboard is displayed, as shown in.

Step two mouse click on the text toolbar below the math Symbol Panel button, this will bring up the mathematical Symbols toolbar, in which there is an absolute value symbol template, mouse click, you can appear in the text box under the absolute value symbol, as shown, we just need to enter the absolute value of the number you want.

Second, calculate the value with absolute value

Open the Geometry artboard, select the "Calculate" command under the "Data" menu, calculate the New Calculation dialog box, such as the "|-7|+3.5" value, click the "Equation" button, select "Abs" in the pop-up drop-down option, which is the absolute value symbol. After entering the calculated number, click OK to make the calculated values appear on the artboard.

Three, the absolute value function of drawing

Open the Geometry artboard, select "Draw new Function" command under the "Drawing" menu, in the popup new Function dialog input function analytic type, such as input "│x-2│+│x+1│=y", click the "Equation" button, select "Abs" in the pop-up drop-down option, is the absolute value symbol. After you have entered the analytic formula by step, click OK to draw the function image.

The above gives you a summary of the geometry of the input of the absolute value of the method, you can choose a different way to operate in different situations, which is the most convenient way to choose which way. In the geometry of the artboard can also draw a lot of more special functions, there are direct function symbols can be called. Finally, no use on the geometry of the friend, you can click on the geometry of the artboard registration code to get.
