what is the absolute value of a positive number or zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

supose n>=0, then |n| = n if n<0, then |n| = -n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I think the last bit is written the wrong way |-n| = n and not |n|= -n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if n= -2 -n = 2 @campbell_st

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is written right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|-n| = n this is really confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ikr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and actually wrong, :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if n = -2, it would mean: |-(-2)|=|2|=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is confusing
