When the number is 0.
Yes! When the number is negative, the absolute value of it'll be its opposite.
When the numbers are negative
0
the number 0 is always equal to its opposite
When the number is 0.
When the number is non-positive.
Yes! When the number is negative, the absolute value of it'll be its opposite.
When the numbers are negative
The absolute value of a negative number is positive.
0
Because the opposite of 8 for example is -8 and 8+(-8) = 0
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.
the number 0 is always equal to its opposite
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.
