The measure of how far a number is from zero is called its absolute value. It is the distance of a number from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. The absolute value of a number is always positive or zero. It is denoted by vertical bars surrounding the number, for example, the absolute value of -5 is written as |-5|, which equals 5.
The intuitive concept of zero is nothing or more exactly the number that measures nothing. It is the answer to a question for which one expects a numerical answer but nothing is there. For example, if someone asks how many pennies you have in your pocket and your pocket is empty, you could correctly say "zero" Mathematically, zero is the number that when added to another number does not change it. If somebody gives you zero pennies, you still have the same number you had before.
the concept of zero was and as far as i can tell always will be made up in ancient India. if you don't believe me LOOK IT UP
One of the things that is tells you is how far away it is from zero.
Zero divided by any number is always zero and a number cannot be divided by zero.
If a number ends with zero, it is an even number.
Zero degrees longitude
-11 is 11 units away from zero on a number line.
No number can satisfy that set of criteria.
11units
you have to find out how far the number is from zero
22 units away.
The number itself. 5 is 5 units from zero. 12 is 12 units from zero. -4 is 4 units from zero. 0 is 0 units from zero. 1,000,000 is one million units from zero.
The y-coordinate would be zero. The y-coord. measures far up or down the point is vertically, so if the point is on the x-axis it has to be zero.

In statistics, variance measures how far apart a set of numbers is spread out. If the numbers are identical, the variance is zero. Variance can never be negative.
I'm in 5th grade so as far as i know it was the Aztec who invented the number zero to make their calenders correct.
The absolute value of a number means how far a certain number is from zero on a number line. so a negative is always positive because it is not possible to be a negative amount away from zero
