    Absolute Value

    Uploaded by

    Nico Valera
    The document defines absolute value as the distance between a number and zero on the number line. Absolute value is denoted by vertical lines. It is always positive, regardless of whether the original number was positive or negative. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the absolute value of integers and expressions involving integers. Opposites are defined as numbers with the same absolute value but different signs. Methods for comparing absolute values are also described.

    Absolute Value of a

    Number
    Absolute Value
    - The absolute value of a number is the
    distance between that number and zero.
    - It is denoted by “| |” two bars.
    Example:
    | 2 | = 2 “the absolute value of 2 is 2”
    | -2 | = 2 “the absolute value of -2 is 2”

    -| 2 | = -2 “the negative absolute value


    of 2 is -2”
    -| -2 | = -2 “the negative absolute value
    of negative 2 is -2”
    Look at the number line.
    5 units 5 units

    -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

    On the number line:


    there are 5 units from 0 to 5. | 5 | = 5
    there are 5 units from 0 to -5. | -5 | = 5
    The number of units from 0 to any given integer
    represents the absolute value of the integer.
    It is NEVER negative.
    Absolute Value
    Evaluate the absolute value:
    1) | -4 | = 4
    2) | 3 | = 3
    3) | 0 | = 0
    4) | 1 | = 1
    5) | -25 | = 25
    6) -| 49 | = -49
    7) -| -35 | = -35
    Absolute Value
    Evaluate the absolute value:
    1) | 4 + 2| = | 6 | = 6
    2) | 10 – 5 | = | 5 | = 5
    3) | -9 | - | 2 | = 9 - 2 = 7
    4) | 2 + 3 | - │4 - 3│ = 5 - 1 = 4
    5) | 7 - 4 | - │5 - 3│= 3 - 2 = 1
    Absolute Value
    Evaluate the absolute value:
    1) | x | = 7
    x = 7 and x = -7
    Opposites
    • Two numbers that have the same
    ABSOLUTE VALUE, but different signs
    are called opposites.
    Example -6 and 6 are opposites because
    both are 6 units away from zero.
    | -6 | = 6 and | 6 | = 6

    -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
    Opposites
    What are the opposites of the
    following integers?
    1) -10 10
    2) -35 35
    3) 12 -12
    4) 100 -100
    5) 1 -1
    Compare using <, > or =.
    1) | 2 | > -| 2 |
    2) | 10 - 2 | = |6+2|
    3) -| 5 - 2 | < -| 1 + 1 |
    4) | 8 - 3 | = |6-1|
    5) | 3 | > -| -3 |
