how do you identify opposite and absolute value of a rational number
When the number is non-positive.
I would do it that way.
The absolute value of a number is always positive or zero, while its opposite is always negative or zero. The relationship between the absolute value of a number and its opposite is that they have the same numerical value but opposite signs. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the opposite of 5 is -5.
Yes it is and the absolute value is always a positive number. if it was the absolute number then the opposite, then its always a negative number. I learned this and im in the sixth grade advanced classes. * * * * * The absolute value need not always be positive - it can be 0. The absolute value need not be an integer. Rational and irrational fractions are perfectly valid.

The absolute value is always positive.
The opposite of the absolute value of x is always -abs(x).
The additive opposite of the rational number q is -q. One of q and -q must be non-negative and that is its absolute value.
When the number is 0.
They are all non-positive rational numbers.
It is the number with the same magnitude (absolute value) and the opposite sign.
When the number is non-positive.
An "opposite" is not a well defined term since there are additive opposites and multiplicative opposites and you have not specified which one.The absolute value of a rational number is the value of the number with a positive sign.Thus (abs(5/7) = 5/7and abs(-5/7) = 5/7
That is how absolute values are defined.
