Absolute value looks like | x | and means that no matter what x is, the answer is positive. Unless it looks like this, -|x|, in which case it'll be negative. Also if you are talking about graphing it looks like a "V".

What do absolute values and temperatures on the kelvin scale have in common?

Both absolute values and temperatures on the Kelvin scale do not have negative values. Absolute values represent the distance of a number from zero on a number line, always yielding a positive result. Similarly, temperatures on the Kelvin scale start at absolute zero, which is the lowest possible temperature with no negative values.


What do you do when subtracting absolute value integers?

When subtracting absolute value integers, first calculate the absolute values of the integers involved. Then, perform the subtraction using the absolute values. Remember that the result will always be a non-negative integer, as absolute values are always positive or zero. If necessary, apply the appropriate sign based on the original integers' values after the subtraction.


What do the absolute value of a function do to the graph of that function?

The absolute value of a function changes the original function by ensuring that any negative y values will in essence be positive. For instance, the function y = absolute value (x) will yield the value +1 when x equals -1. Graphically, this function will look like a "V".


Are absolute values used rarely?

No
