This is what the last person said:
"the truth is like most things in math absolute value is kinda pointless. you don't really need to know what it is to succeed in life."
First of all, whoever wrote this is stupid. It doesn't matter how pointless it is, you still have a question and you need an answer, right? I would NOT recommend this site to this who find this place as a back up for homework, like me. People like this loser who posted that ruin it by saying, "Oh it's pointless, you won't need it." Well, you will if you want to pass! Nobody has answered this question yet, so try a different site. Once I find the answer, I will come repost.
Absolute value |-5| = 5
The absolute value is the [unsigned] difference between two values. It tells you how far one value is from another.
The absolute value defines a number's distance from the origin, so in the case of real numbers, is the non-negative value of a number. They are often used for real world applications in math and science, where negative solutions are impossible, especially in geometry, or where they are simply unhelpful, as seen in the case of absolute deviation, a function that finds the amount numbers vary from an average, absolute value is important because only the numbers' distance from the average is wanted.
Well, honey, the absolute value of a number is always positive, no matter what. It's like a magnet that repels negativity. So, no, it can't be both positive and negative at the same time. It's just not how math works, sweetie.
the symbol is 2 vertical lines surrounding a number this number can not be negative. for ex: |7| this means that the number can be either 7 or -7. it can also be more than one number. ex:|7+5| = 12 or -12
In math a normal absolute value equations share a vertex.
The absolute value of -13 would be 13. This is used in math.
The absolute value of a number can be represented by vertical lines by the side of each number. For example, the absolute value of -3 would be represented by |-3| .
30. In math, if a problem asks for the absolute value of a number, it'll always be the positive form of that number.
Order has to do with the relation of one number to another. Statements like a>b is an ordered statement. Absolute value is the distance that a number is from 0. So the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of -3 is 3.
Absolute Value in math terms? It is the numeric magnitude of a quantity, it's "bigness", without regard to direction or sign. It is the euclidean distance from zero to that quantity. Absolute Value is notated by using vertical bars. For an example, the absolute value of x is |x| |3| = 3 |-3| = 3 |4+3i| = 5
Absolute valueThe absolute value of a number is the positive value of that number. For a positive number, it is just the number. For a negative number it is its positive value. So, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of -5 is 5 also. Absolute value is written like this:| - 5 | = 5 with vertical bars around the number.You can think of absolute value as the distance from zero to your number.

There is a technical definition for absolute value, but you could easily never need it. You should view the absolute value of a number as its distance from zero. The absolute value of +3 is 3, since it is three away from zero. The absolute value of -3 is 3, since it is three away from zero the other way.
