The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line. It is always a positive value, regardless of the sign of the original number.
To find the absolute value of a number, you can drop the sign (if it is negative) and keep the number as is. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5.
Absolute value is important because it allows us to measure the distance between numbers, regardless of their signs. It also helps us solve equations and inequalities, and is used in many real-life applications such as calculating speed and distance.
Absolute value and modulus both represent the distance from zero, but they differ in the way they are used. Absolute value is used for real numbers, while modulus is used for complex numbers. Modulus also takes into account the imaginary part of a complex number.
No, the absolute value of a number is always positive. The negative sign only indicates the direction of the number, not its magnitude.
