Answer 2

I think the answer is D but im not sure :/

Answer 3

Select all that applies right?

Answer 4

its multiple choice

Answer 5

|5|=5
|-5|=5
What do these 5's tell us. That both -5 and 5 share the distance of 5 from 0.
Distance can be positive or zero, right?

Answer 6

ya

Answer 7

so what do you think is the answer?

Answer 8

A or B so i would eliminate D and C because they arent right

Answer 9

Yes there is only one number we can plug into the absolute function and not get a positive which is 0
so most of the time the absolute value function will output us a positive number
|2.1|=2.1 so it certainly doesn't give us the nearest integer
also |-5|=5 tells us that too because -5 is an integer no where near the integer 5
