Can you reverse the numbers inside an absolute value symbol?

The answer depends on the operation. The absolute value of 2/3 is not the same as the absolute value of 3/2! It does work for subtraction, though.


What value of a number is its distance from 0?

Its absolute value. E.g. the real numbers negative two (-2) and positive two (2) have the same absolute value (2).


Do only integers have absolute value?

No. Absolute value applies to the set of real numbers.


What is mean by absolute value of rational numbers?

Absolute values are essentially used for the magnitude (distance) to zero of a number. They are represented by a number inside a vertical bar (e.g., |2|) E.g.'s: | 2 | = 2 (the absolute value of 2 is equal to 2) | -4 | = 4 (the absolute value of -4 is 4) In terms of rational numbers, it just means to hold the fraction. Rational numbers can be written in a/b (fraction) form. E.g.'s: | 1+2/3 | = 1+2/3 (the absolute value of one and two thirds is equal to one and two thirds) | -1-2/3| = 1+2/3 (the absolute value of -1 minus 2/3 is equal to 1 and 2/3.


Will positive numbers always have a higher absolute value than negative numbers?

No, positive numbers do not always have a higher absolute value than negative numbers. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, which is equal to the absolute value of +5. Therefore, a negative number can have the same absolute value as a positive number and vice versa, but positive numbers themselves cannot have a higher absolute value than the corresponding negative numbers.

What numbers have a absolute value os 2 1 2?

The numbers that have an absolute value of 2 are -2 and 2. Absolute value is the distance of a number from zero on the number line, so both -2 and 2 are 2 units away from zero in opposite directions. The absolute value of a number is always positive, so the absolute value of -2 is also 2.


2 numbers that have the same absolute value but different signs?

It is impossible. The absolute value is always positive.

Is this question true or false are there always two numbers thtj have the same absolute value?

Other than for the value 0, there are always two numbers that have the same absolute value: the number and the negative of the number, eg 2 and -2 both have the absolute value 2. There is no negative 0, so there is only the number 0 which has the absolute value 0.

What is the sum of the different numbers that have the same absolute value?

If 2 numbers are different, but have the same absolute value, then one is the opposite of the other. Any number plus its opposite equals zero.


Is -2 even or odd?

Any negative numbers with an absolute value (that is, a value without the sign) which is even, are even numbers.


Will positive numbers alway have a higher absolute value than the negative numbers?

No, positive numbers do not always have a higher absolute value than negative numbers. The absolute value of a negative number is equal to its positive equivalent. For example, the absolute value of -3 and 3 is both 3.
