What distance from zero to a number on the number line?
That's the absolute value.
Why is it useful for me to know the absolute value of a number?
The absolute value of a number is the distance to zero. When adding which ever number has the greater absolute value will determine the sign of the answer.
When is the absolute value of a number equal to the opposite of that same number?
The absolute value of a negative number is positive.
What is distance that a number is from zero on a number line called?
A number's distance from zero on a number line is its magnitude or "absolute value."absolute value or magnitude.absolute value
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.
What is absolute value of the opposite of a nonzero rational number?
The absolute value is always positive.
When is the absolute value of a number equal to the number?
The absolute value of a number equals the number itself if and only if the number is a positive real number (x >= 0 and does not include a nonzero imaginary component).
When is the absolute value of the number equal to the number?
The absolute value of a number equals the number itself if and only if the number is a positive real number (x >= 0 and does not include a nonzero imaginary component).
Is the absolute value of any nonzero number positive?
Yes. nonzero number: -4, -0.5, 5, pi, 30 absolute number: |-4| = 4 |-0.5| = 0.5 |5| = 5 |pi| = pi |30| = 30
How do you Use absolute value to write definition of the opposite of a nonzero rational number?
I would do it that way.
Explain Why the product of two nonzero absolute values is always a positive number?
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, so it is always non-negative. When you multiply two nonzero absolute values, you are essentially multiplying two non-negative numbers together. In multiplication, a positive number multiplied by a positive number always results in a positive number, hence the product of two nonzero absolute values is always positive.
When is the absolute value of a number equal to itself?
The absolute value of a number equals the number itself if and only if the number is a positive real number (x >= 0 and does not include a nonzero imaginary component).
Is the absolute value always an integer?
Yes it is and the absolute value is always a positive number. if it was the absolute number then the opposite, then its always a negative number. I learned this and im in the sixth grade advanced classes. * * * * * The absolute value need not always be positive - it can be 0. The absolute value need not be an integer. Rational and irrational fractions are perfectly valid.
Is negative 34 absolute value rational or irrational?
rational
What is the absolute value of every nonzero integer?
Positive
Which operation will always result in the value of 1 for any nonzero number?
The operation that will always have the result in value of 1 for any nonzero number is Inverse Operation of Multipication.
Can an irrational number become a rational number?
How would you do that ?? You'd have to change the value of the number. As long as the irrational number keeps its original value, it's an irrational number.
