Absolute value looks like | x | and means that no matter what x is, the answer is positive. Unless it looks like this, -|x|, in which case it'll be negative. Also if you are talking about graphing it looks like a "V".

Do opposites have the same or different absolute values?
Additive opposites MUST have the same absolute values.
What numbers have equal absolute values?
A positive and negative number with the same magnitude (value) will have their absolute values equal.
What are the two kinds of values?
absolute moral values and behavioral or cultural values
What do the absolute value of a function do to the graph of that function?
The absolute value of a function changes the original function by ensuring that any negative y values will in essence be positive. For instance, the function y = absolute value (x) will yield the value +1 when x equals -1. Graphically, this function will look like a "V".
Are absolute values used rarely?
No
Why would you look at a logarithmic chart instead of charting the absolute values of the variables?
Whether you should look at logarithmic charts or absolute values depends entirely on the nature of the variables.
What numbers have opposites that are the same as their absolute values?
All numbers have opposites that are the same as their absolute values.
Do opposites have the same or different absolute values?
Additive opposites MUST have the same absolute values.
Can absolute value be negative?
No, absolute values are always positive.
What is the arithmetic mean of the absolute values of the deviations of the individual values from the mean in a data set?
It is the mean absolute deviation.
What numbers have equal absolute values?
A positive and negative number with the same magnitude (value) will have their absolute values equal.
What are the two kinds of values?
absolute moral values and behavioral or cultural values
What does an absolute number look like?
Like an ordinary positive number.
What do the absolute value of a function do to the graph of that function?
The absolute value of a function changes the original function by ensuring that any negative y values will in essence be positive. For instance, the function y = absolute value (x) will yield the value +1 when x equals -1. Graphically, this function will look like a "V".

No
Negatives are never absolute values WHY?
The absolute value is the distance from 0 on the number line. -5 is 5 away from 0. You cannot have a negative distance, therefore you cannot have a negative absolute value. Absolute values are not ALWAYS positive because absolute values can be zero as well. Zero is not positive nor negative.
Is the sum of an absolute value is the same of their absolute values?
The sum of the absolute values of two numbers is greater or equal than the absolute values of the sum. It will be equal if both are positive or both are negative; greater if one is positive and one is negative. Try it out with some sample numbers!
