⁦|x| is the distance from x to zero⁩: ⁦always zero or positive⁩. ⁦|x − ٢| is the distance from x to 2⁩. ⁦The equation |x − ٢| = ٣ asks for the points 3 away from 2⁩: ⁦two answers⁩.

⁦The graph of y = |x − ٢| is a V and never goes below the x-axis⁩. ⁦The solutions of |x − ٢| = ٣ are where the graph meets the horizontal line y = 3⁩.

⁦The floor function [x] gives the largest whole number that is not more than x⁩: ⁦[٢٫٧] = ٢ and f(−١٫٣) = −٢⁩. ⁦Its graph is a staircase⁩: ⁦each step is closed at its left end and open at its right end⁩.
