Alright I got the answer to the problem almost. I got rid of the absolute value bars, but I still have great value bars left over.

Please stay on topic...
Fine :P
Yes, applying the rule of absolute value |-a|=a we can assume that 1-square/2 is equal to 0.41421
This is because the square root of two is 1.41421, and all we have to do is subtract the one. Because while dealing in absolutes we can ignore the fact that it would be negative. We just need to calculate the distance on the number line.
Interesting.
On a related note, I understand delicious chocolate goes well with homework.
