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.

Can the magnitude of a vector has negative value?

No, the magnitude of a vector is always a positive value or zero. It represents the length of the vector and is a scalar quantity. Negative values are not associated with the magnitude of a vector.


Can the magnitude of a vector have a negative vector?

Is the sum of two integers psitive negative or zero how do yoknow?

The sum of two numbers depends on their signs and relative magnitudes.Both positive: sum positive Both zero: sum zero Both negative: sum negative Larger magnitude positive, smaller magnitude negative: sum positive Larger magnitude negative, smaller magnitude positive: sum negative Same magnitude, one positive and other negative: sum zero.

Can a negative sign can be read as the opposite of?

It is the sign that is opposite, not the number But if the number magnitude is the same, it is correct to say that ,for example, negative 6 is the opposite of positive six. But negative 4 is not the opposite of negative 8, for example


Can the magnitude of a vector be negative?

No, the value can't be negative because magnitude of a vector is just how long it is regardless of its direction. :-)


Can be magnitude of a vector have negative value?

Vectors have magnitude and direction. The magnitude is always a positive number.

What is different between negative vector and null vector?

A null vector has no magnitude, a negative vector does have a magnitude but it is in the direction opposite to that of the reference vector.
