What is the absolute value of negative 99?
Absolute Value means the distance from 0. I think of it as numbers on a number line, for instance -3 is 3 units from 0. So the absolute value of -99 would just be 99, because that is its distance from 0.
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.
Justify why the absolute value of a number is never negative?
If it had a sign it wouldn't be an absolute value, which is neither positive nor negative, merely absolute.Note that the absolute value of a number is non-negative by definition.For x < 0, |x| = -x (which is positive)For x ≥ 0, |x| = x (which is never negative)
Is it true or false that the absolute value of a number always a positive number?
It is true. Look at absolute value as a number's distance from zero, and distance can't be negative. Take, say, -7. -7 is 7 away from 0, so the absolute value of -7 is 7.
What is the range of absolute value parent function?
apex what is the range of the absolute... answer is nonnegative real num...
