The absolute value of a number is how many spaces the number is away from 0. So if the number was 32, the absolute value would be 32. And if the number was -54, then the absolute value would be 54. ========== The definition of "absolute value" for a number x (written as |x| ) is: |x| = x for x >0 |x| = 0 for x=0 |x| = -x for x<0
The absolute value of a positive number is the same number - in this case, 1.5. The absolute value of a negative number is the number, without the sign. Note that the absolute value of an expression like (-x) is not necessarily (x); rather, you have to separately consider the case that x is positive, or that x is negative. For example, the absolute value of x is x (if x is positive), or (-x) (if x is negative).
No, the absolute value of a number cannot equal a negative number.
Just a pair of straight vertical lines, one on either side of the number. The absolute value of 18k is |18k| . The absolute value of 'x' is |x| .
The absolute value of any number is the "distance from zero". If the expression is negative, it is converted to positive. The absolute value of x+7 can be either x+7 (if x+7 is positive) or -(x+7) (if x+7 is negative).
The absolute value of 19 is 19. If x is positive , absolute x equals x.
zero. The absolute value of a number is just the positive version of that number, so the absolute value of x is x, and x minus x is zero.
The absolute value of a number is how many spaces the number is away from 0. So if the number was 32, the absolute value would be 32. And if the number was -54, then the absolute value would be 54. ========== The definition of "absolute value" for a number x (written as |x| ) is: |x| = x for x >0 |x| = 0 for x=0 |x| = -x for x<0
If a number is not less than zero then that is its absolute value. If a number is less than zero, its negative is its absolute value. So, if |x| denotes the absolute value of x, then |x| = -x for x<0 [since if x<0 then -x>0] and |x| = x for x>= 0
The absolute value of a positive number is the same number - in this case, 1.5. The absolute value of a negative number is the number, without the sign. Note that the absolute value of an expression like (-x) is not necessarily (x); rather, you have to separately consider the case that x is positive, or that x is negative. For example, the absolute value of x is x (if x is positive), or (-x) (if x is negative).
The absolute value of the opposite of x is x. The absolute value is the number's distance from zero on a number line. Distance can not be negative, so basically, to find the absolute value of a number you just need to make it positive. The opposite of x is -x. |-x|=x - you make the x positive Of course, if x, to begin with, represents a negative (less than zero) number than the absolute value would be -x. For example if x=-3, the opposite value of x would be 3 and the absolute value of x would also be 3 which happens to be -x.
No. In mathematics, the absolute value of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. The absolute value of -5 is 5.
No, the absolute value of a number cannot equal a negative number.
The opposite of the absolute value of x is always -abs(x).
Just a pair of straight vertical lines, one on either side of the number. The absolute value of 18k is |18k| . The absolute value of 'x' is |x| .
The absolute value of any number is the "distance from zero". If the expression is negative, it is converted to positive. The absolute value of x+7 can be either x+7 (if x+7 is positive) or -(x+7) (if x+7 is negative).
the absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. so the absolute value of 8 is 8 and the absolute value of -8 is 8. absolute value sign looks live this |x| where x is a number. so |-8|=8
