there is no symbol for it.
The symbol for the operation of absolute value is |n| but I don't know why a common symbol is needed.....
a U turn arow
the symbol is 2 vertical lines surrounding a number this number can not be negative. for ex: |7| this means that the number can be either 7 or -7. it can also be more than one number. ex:|7+5| = 12 or -12
Think of a number line. The larger numbers are to the right and the smaller number to the left. For instance, five is less than seven. (5 < 7). When you multiply by a negative number, then the numbe with the larger absolute value is on the left, and the number with the smaller absolute value is to the right. (-5 > -7).
