When the numbers are negative
When the number is 0.
The answer depends on whether the "opposite" means the multiplicative inverse or the additive inverse.
The number 0.6666 is a rational number. Expressed as a fraction it is equal to 6666/10000.
Yes
Yes! When the number is negative, the absolute value of it'll be its opposite.
When the number is 0.
When the number is non-positive.
The answer depends on whether the "opposite" means the multiplicative inverse or the additive inverse.
Two integers are considered opposites if they are equal in absolute value but have different signs. For example, 5 and -5 are opposites because they are the same distance from zero on the number line, but one is positive and the other is negative. When added together, opposites always yield a sum of zero, illustrating their relationship.
Only if the rational number is 0.
No, never.
If a number is zero or positive, then its absolute value is equal to the number.
Absolute values are essentially used for the magnitude (distance) to zero of a number. They are represented by a number inside a vertical bar (e.g., |2|) E.g.'s: | 2 | = 2 (the absolute value of 2 is equal to 2) | -4 | = 4 (the absolute value of -4 is 4) In terms of rational numbers, it just means to hold the fraction. Rational numbers can be written in a/b (fraction) form. E.g.'s: | 1+2/3 | = 1+2/3 (the absolute value of one and two thirds is equal to one and two thirds) | -1-2/3| = 1+2/3 (the absolute value of -1 minus 2/3 is equal to 1 and 2/3.
The number 0.6666 is a rational number. Expressed as a fraction it is equal to 6666/10000.
Consider the absolute values (the numerical values ignoring the signs) of the two numbers. If these are equal then the sum is equal; otherwise the sum takes the sign of which ever number has the larger absolute value.
