First let me start by saying that the absolute value of -8 is 8.

However, this can be a dangerous question to ask, as it can become a complicated one to ask, as the magnitude of a number or function can have many answers, and each of the methods to describe the "magnitude" of a number or function is called a "norm".

There are many types of norms: the infinity norm (the maximum absolute value of a function), and the L2 norm (the square root of the integral of the square of a function). Another example is the length of a curve.
