If your bank account is overdrawn by 5 units then your statement will show the balance as -5. So the negative number, -5, is represented as a debt of 5 units of currency (an absolute number).
The absolute value of a number is its distance, on the number line, of the number from 0. If x is non-negative, its absolute value is x; and if x is negative then the absolute value is -x (which is positive).
* If "a" is positive, "-a" is negative.* If "a" is negative, "-a" is positive. * If "a" is zero, "-a" is zero. If you want to force a negative number, you can write -|a|, i.e., the negative of the absolute value.
An absolute value can not be negative.
No. "Absolute" means non-negative.
NO, absolute value is always non-negative.
The opposite is: negative (the absolute value of negative 30).
If the absolute value of the negative is bigger than that of the positive, then the answer is negative. If the absolute value of the negative is the same, then zero. If the absolute value of the negative is smaller, then positive. Absolute value is the value ignoring the sign.
If you use positive numbers to represent money which you have or are owed (credit), then use negative numbers to represent debits.Remember, though, that sometimes the choice of which of the two is positive is arbitrary and depends on you. If I owe you money, the situation would be represented by a negative number in my accounts but a positive entry in yours.
Absolute values are never negative. The opposite, or negative, or additive inverse, of a negative number is the number's absolute value; a non-negative number is its own absolute value. The absolute values of 7 and -5, are, respectively, 7 and 5.
