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.
What measurement uses absolute values?
distance
Explain Why the product of two nonzero absolute values is always a positive number?
An absolute value must be greater or equal to zero. If the absolute value is known to be nonzero then it must be greater than zero: that is, it must be positive. The product of two (or more) positive numbers must be positive.
What do you do when subtracting a positive and a negative?
If you subtract a negative from a positive, add both of their absolute values. If you subtract a positive from a negative, add both of their absolute values and multiply by negative one.
Compare the absolute value of -7 with the absolute value of 7?
The absolute value of -7= 7 The absolute value of 7= 7 Therefore, the absolute values of both 7 and -7 are the same, because absolute value is the distance a number is from zero, regardless of sign.
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 only integers have absolute value?
No. Absolute value applies to the set of real numbers.
Can negative numbers be absolute values?
never
What numbers have equal absolute values?
A positive and negative number with the same magnitude (value) will have their absolute values equal.
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!
Can you compare two complex numbers?
You can compare their magnitude (absolute values) but not the numbers themselves.
What are the numerical values for l5l?
The absolute value (|5|) numbers are 5 and -5.
What does greatest absolute value mean?
It means that you take the absolute values of different numbers, and then compare them to see which one is greater.
What is the opposite of the absolute value of 8?
The additive opposite is negative 8 (-8). Absolute values are always positive numbers.
Why complex numbers has no inequality?
Ah! but they can. Using absolute values |3-i|<|3+2i|.
What is the rule for adding integers and rational numbers with the same sign?
The value of the answer is the sum of the absolute values of the numbers and the sign of the answer is the same as that of the two numbers.
What is writing numbers using place values and exponents?
Its called factors.
