666. Which of the points $A(5 / 8)$ and $B(8 / 13)$ is to the left? (The coordinates of the points are given in parentheses; the positive direction is to the right.)
$\triangle$ Coordinates increase from left to right, so we need to compare the fractions $5 / 8$ and $8 / 13$ in terms of size: $$ \frac{5}{8}=\frac{5 \cdot 13}{8 \cdot 13}=\frac{65}{8 \cdot 13}>\frac{64}{8 \cdot 13}=\frac{8 \cdot 8}{8 \cdot 13}=\frac{8}{13} $$ This means that the coordinate of point $A$ is greater, ...

667. Find the distance between points $A$ (with coordinate $a$) and $B$ (with coordinate $b$).
$\triangle$ To find this distance, one needs to subtract the smaller coordinate from the larger one. Thus, it equals $b-a$ when $b>a$ and $a-b$ when $a>b$. Naturally, the distance is zero when $a=b$. $\triangleleft$ The formula for the distance is conveniently written using the modulus sign: The absolute value, or mo...

668. What is $|a|$, if $a<0$: will it be $a$ or $-a$?
$\triangleright$ It seems tempting to say that the modulus is $a$ (after all, the modulus is a "number without a sign," while $-a$ has a "minus" sign), but this is incorrect. Since $a$ is negative, the modulus must be positive. To find the modulus, one must choose the positive (more precisely, non-negative) number from...
