Absolute Value of a Rational Number

Transcript

Absolute Value of a Rational Number Absolute value means how far the number is from 0 We represent absolute value of 𝑥 as |𝒙| So, we can write |−2|=2 |3|=3 |0|=0 |−201|=201 The absolute value of a rational number x is |x| And, it represents its distance from 0 on the number line. Thus, we can say that Absolute value is always non-negative That is |𝒙|≥𝟎 Let’s do another example We can see |−2|=|2|=2 |−4|=|4|=4 |0|=0
