Calculating the value of this point is quite simple.\r\n\r\nFor example, for \\(| x - 3 |\\), the value \\(x = 3\\) makes the absolute value equal to 0.\r\n\r\nExamples of others are:\r\n\r\n\\[\\begin{array}{rrrrrrrrr}\r\n|x&+&2|&=&0&\\text{when}&x&=&-2 \\\\\r\n|x&-&11|&=&0&\\text{when}&x&=&11 \\\\\r\n|x&+&9|&=&0&\\text{when}&x&=&-9 \\\\\r\n\\end{array}\\]\r\n\r\nThe graph of an absolute value equation will be a V-shape that opens upward for any positive absolute function and opens downward for any negative absolute value function.\r\n
