What negative numbers are less than positive numbers. Does this mean that the absolute value of a negative number must be less than the absolute value of a positive number Explain?
No it is not true. The absolute value of a number is simply the value of the number with a positive sign.
Is the absolute value of an integer the same as the opposite of that integer?
No. The absolute value of any number is the non-negative value of that number.So, the absolute value of a number X, which is greater than or equal to 0, is X.The absolute value of a number X, which is less than 0, is -X.Note that, in the second case, X < 0 implies that -X > 0.
