The absolute value is always non-negative. So, the absolute values of zero and positive integers are the same as the numbers. However, the absolute values of negative integers are their additive inverses or additive opposites (or positive equivalents).Thus, for example, abs(-3) = +3
Yes.
In Real numbers, each is the additive inverse of the other.
No. Absolute value applies to the set of real numbers.
Because "absolute value" only refers to how far a number is away from zero. Thus -1 and 1 are both one away from zero. And -100 and 100 are both one hundred away from zero.
