Can the absolute error be a negative?

No, the absolute error cannot be negative. Absolute error is defined as the absolute value of the difference between the measured value and the true value, which ensures that it is always non-negative. It is calculated as |measured value - true value|, and since absolute values are always positive or zero, the absolute error itself will also never be negative.


Why is the product of two absolute values is always a positive number?

This is not strictly true, because an absolute value, and hence the product of two absolute values can be zero. It is, therefore true to say that the product of two absolute values is always non-negative. An absolute value of a number is, by definition, non-negative. And by the definition of multiplication, the product of two non-negative numbers in non-negative.

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

What do you call distance between a number and 0?

The distance between any number, positive or negative, is called the "absolute value." This number is always positive, as it measures distance. For positive numbers, the absolute value is just the number. For negative numbers, drop the negative sign, and you have the absolute value. Alternative name: magnitude.
