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 the definition of opposite integers?

Opposite integers are pairs of integers that are equidistant from zero on a number line but lie on opposite sides of zero. For example, -3 and 3 are opposite integers because they have the same absolute value but differ in sign. Essentially, the opposite of any integer ( n ) is ( -n ). Thus, opposite integers always sum to zero.


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 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.

How many integers can have the same absolute?

Every positive integer ( n ) has two integers that share the same absolute value: ( n ) and ( -n ). The only integer that has the same absolute value as itself and does not have a corresponding negative is ( 0 ), since ( |0| = 0 ). Therefore, for any integer ( n \neq 0 ), there are two integers with the same absolute value, and for ( n = 0 ), there is just one. In total, there are two integers for each non-zero integer and one for zero.


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 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".
