the absolute value is always positive, by definition -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 absolute value of -8 is +8 Ans: + 8
|x|=√(x^2).
Yes, every integer has an absolute value. In fact, so do all real numbers, and even so do all complex numbers (in a similar but slightly different way). The absolute value of a number is the distance from it to zero. For example, the absolute value of -2 is 2 because -2 is two units away from zero on the number line. In a more concrete expression, the absolute value of a number x (written as |x|), is given by: x, if x is greater than or equal to 0. -x, if x is less than zero.
Abs(x) = x when x >= 0Abs(x) = -x when x < 0.In short, abs(x) is the distance from the origin to x, irrespective of whether it is to the left or right.
The absolute value of a number is how many spaces the number is away from 0. So if the number was 32, the absolute value would be 32. And if the number was -54, then the absolute value would be 54. ========== The definition of "absolute value" for a number x (written as |x| ) is: |x| = x for x >0 |x| = 0 for x=0 |x| = -x for x<0
