If \(c\) is a negative integer, for which of the following values of \(d\) is \(\left| c-d \right|\) greatest? \(-10\) \(-4\) \(0\) \(4\) \(10\)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I think you mean values of b right?

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

Sorry. d, not be..

OpenStudy (welshfella):

oh OK do you know what the modulus signs mean - the vertical lines around c - d ?

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

Yes. Absolute value..

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes which is positive so if you have a negative value with the number part high then the absolute value will be high

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

I say 10.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes you are right

OpenStudy (theraggedydoctor):

Okay. Thank you.
