Absolute value refers to the distance of a number from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. It is denoted by two vertical bars around the number, such as |x|. For example, both |-5| and |5| equal 5, indicating that the absolute value is always a non-negative number. Essentially, it measures how large a number is without considering whether it is positive or negative.

What is an absolute number on a number line?

Numbers can have an absolute magnitude, which means the size of the number whether positive or negative (in other words, 5 or -5 both have an absolute magnitude of 5) but there is no established meaning for "absolute number". Numbers can be a variety of things; they can be real or imaginary, they can be rational or irrational, they can be transcendental, they can be finite or transfinite. But they are not described as absolute (again, except in the contest of absolute magnitude).


What is the absolute value of rational numbers?

The term absolute value means that whether the number is positive or negative, you make it into a positive number, so the absolute value of, for example, minus six, is six. Rational number are numbers which can be expressed in the form of a ratio, meaning one integer divided by another integer.


Why absolute rest and absolute motion do not exist?

Absolute rest and absolute motion do not exist because motion is relative; it depends on the observer's frame of reference. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, all motion is measured relative to another object, meaning there is no universal state of rest or motion. Furthermore, even in a seemingly stationary state, factors like gravitational forces and cosmic movements can influence perception, reinforcing that all states are relative rather than absolute.
