Find the absolute value of -3 plus the opposite of -3?
Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on a number line are called "opposites." For example, +5 and -5 are opposites, as they are equidistant from zero but lie on opposite sides of it. They have the same absolute value but different signs.
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.
how do you identify opposite and absolute value of a rational number
The absolute value of the answer is the difference between the absolute values of the two numbers and the sign associated with it is the same as that of the number with the greater absolute value.
When the numbers are negative
yes
Its impossible if they are both absolute value with different signs. If they have different signs one would be absolute value and one would be negative value.
It is impossible. The absolute value is always positive.
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.
If 2 numbers are different, but have the same absolute value, then one is the opposite of the other. Any number plus its opposite equals zero.
opposites, additive inverses
Yes... that is, if one is the opposite of the other. For example: The absolute value of 6 is 6. The absolute value of -6 is 6. The absolute value is just the units a number is away from its orgin.
No, they cannot.
