find the absolute value |-10/11|

OpenStudy (raden):

|-a| = |a| = a with a is constants

huh

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Think of absolute value as the distance of a number to zero on the number line. A distance is never negative. |5| = 5 |-5| = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

RadEn is incorrect. According to what he wrote, for a = -5, he's stating that |-a| = |a| = a means that |-(-5)| = |-5| = -5 which is incorrect.
