Understanding Absolute Value in SAT Math

What is the primary focus of the Savers Method introduced by Katie Severson?

• Understanding complex literature

• Learning languages quickly

• Learning anything fast, especially in math

• Improving memory retention

Which of the following is NOT one of the four key values discussed in absolute value problems?

• Minimum value

• Central value

• Variable value

• Distance

In the context of absolute value problems, what does the central value represent?

• The average of the minimum and maximum values

• The highest value in the set

• The difference between the maximum and minimum values

• The lowest value in the set

In the cookie example, what is the midpoint value between the minimum and maximum weights?

• 17 ounces

• 16 ounces

• 18 ounces

• 19 ounces

Why is the distance in the cookie example less than 1?

• Because the weight can be any value

• Because the cookies cannot weigh less than 16 ounces

• Because the weight must be strictly between 16 and 18 ounces

• Because the cookies cannot weigh more than 18 ounces

In the UWorld example, if the max and min values are 5 and 13, what is the midpoint?

• 10

• 9

• 8

• 7

What is the correct absolute value equation if the midpoint is 400?

• |x - 400| = 0

• |x - 400| < 3

• |x + 400| = 0

• |x + 400| < 3

In the final example, what is the central value given?

• 18 ounces

• 16 ounces

• 14 ounces

• 12 ounces

What is the maximum difference allowed in the final example?

• 2 ounces

• 1 ounce

• 0.5 ounces

• 0.1 ounces
