no, the absolute value does not change the subtraction into addition. it does however, change the difference to positive ( if the difference is negative)

A polynomial of degree zero is a constant term

The grouping method of factoring can still be used when only some of the terms share a common factor A True B False

The sum or difference of p and q is the of the x-term in the trinomial

A number a power of a variable or a product of the two is a monomial while a polynomial is the of monomials

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.


Positive and negative what is the final result?

It depends on the operation and values of the positive and negative. For example, in multiplication or division a positive and negative will be a negative. In addition or subtraction, it depends on the absolute value of the original numbers.

How do you find eh absolute value of a fraction?

If the fraction is already positive, then it is also the absolute value. If the fraction is negative, just change the sign and it becomes the absolute value. Absolute value means the magnitude (value) of the fraction without any sign attribute.

What is commutative property of subtraction?

Commutative means things can move or commute. For example A+B=B+A But A-B does NOT equal B-A. The example A+B=B+A is an example of the commutative property of addition. More formally: An operation is commutative if you can change the order of the numbers involved without changing the result. Subtraction does NOT have a commutative property because you cannot change the order. Here is one last concrete example. 5-4=1 and 4-5 =-1 If you know about absolute value, then you might know that |5-4|=|4-5|=1 and in general |a-b|=|b-a|, but this does not mean that subtraction commutes.
