@bbcream14 @HeyoKai @kropot72 @kglover2000 chose 4 but im pretty unsure about it

Do you know what absolute value is?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Because #4 is not true. let a be 2 and b be -1 |b| = 1 is smaller than |a|=2 but b is smaller than a. so that makes #4 wrong.

geerky42 (geerky42):

#2 makes sense. I mean, n in |n| could be negative number
