Answer 10

The absolute value of a number is just the number with no sign.
If the number was positive or zero, the absolute value is just the number.
If the number was negative, the absolute value is just the number without the negative sign, so it is a positive number.

Answer 11

The lines represent the absolute value.
So for instance, if you had thr number -5, the absolute value of -5 would be 5 since absolute values cannot be negative.

Answer 12

Examples:

|1| = 1

|0| = 0

|-3| = 3

|-25| = 25

\(|\sqrt 2| = \sqrt 2\)

\(|-\sqrt 3 | = \sqrt 3\)

Answer 13

@mathstudent55 is correct.

Answer 14

Do you understand the absolute value now?

Answer 15

I think so..

Answer 16

Good.
Now look at choice A.
|-4| < 4
We are comparing |-4| with 4
What is |-4| equal to?

Answer 17

4?

Answer 18

Correct.
That means the statement in A is really
4 < 4
Is 4 less than 4?

Answer 28

6

Answer 29

That means C really is:

|–6| = –6

6 = -6

Is 6 equal to -6?

Answer 30

OH no

Answer 45

Remember, the absolute value is only the number without a sign, so if the number is zero or positive, it's just the number. If the number is negative, just take out the negative sign and make it positive.

Answer 46

Take each choice and rewrite it by writing the correct absolute value.

Here is A.

A. |–5|, 0, 3, –|–4|
5, 0, 3, -4

|-5| = 5. You understand this, I'm sure.
Do you understand why -|-4| is -4?
