When n is positive, then the opposite of n is negative while the absolute value of n is positive. So the opposite and absolute have different signs.

What is absolute value minus absolute value?
Zero. The absolute value |n| is positive for any real number. Subtracting it from itself is zero.
What is the absolute value of 75?
The absolute value of -9.3 is 9.3.
What is the absolute value of -3 - 6?
n+6
What is the absolute value of integer plus 6?
n+6
What are the rules for adding numbers whose signs are different?
Positive plus positive is positive. Negative plus negative is negative. Positive plus negative is positive if the absolute value of the positive number is greater than the absolute value of the negative one. Positive plus negative is negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the absolute value of the positive one.
Formula of mean absolute deviation?
Mean absolute deviation = sum[|x-mean(x)|]/n Where mean(x) = sum(x)/n and n is the number of observations. |y| denotes the absolute value of y.
15 more than the absolute value of a number?
15+|n|
What is the difference of a positive integer n and twice its absolute value?
Since n is positive, |n| = n, so you have 2n - n = n. The difference is n.
What symbol represents the operation of absolute value and why is a common symbol needed?
The symbol for the operation of absolute value is |n| but I don't know why a common symbol is needed.....
What happens when a negative variable is equal to a negative number?
when -n = x and x is a negative #, n is the absolute value of x
What is the absolute value of a number?
Its distance from zero, always a positive number. The absolute value of a positive number is that number. The absolute value of a negative number is its positive equivalent. Usually denoted by vertical bars |n| The absolute value of both 7 and -7 is 7 |-7| = 7 |7| = 7 * * * * * Minor error above: the absolute value of 0 is 0, so not "always a positive number".
What is the definition of opposite numbers?
The additive opposite of a positive is a negative, and the opposite of a negative is a positive. If you reverse the sign twice (opposite of opposite) you have the original number. The same applies to an inverse (multiplicative opposite): the inverse of any inverse for a nonzero number is the original number. n (1/n)(n) = n
