Question

How do you find the absolute value and the opposite of the integer 98?

Answer 1

The absolute value of a number is the positive magnitude to the number,

or, stated another way, if a number is positive (or zero), the absolute value of that number is the number itself; if a number is negative, the absolute value of that number is the negative of the negative number.

|a|={a if a≥0−a if a<0

The absolute value of 98 is

XXXXX98.

The opposite of a number might mean one of two things:

XXXXXThe additive inverse

XXXXXXXXXXThe number which when added to a given number equals 0.

XXXXXXXXXXThe **additive inverse of 98 is (−98)

XXXXXThe multiplicative inverse

XXXXXXXXXXThe number which when multiplied by the given number equals 1.

XXXXXXXXXXThe multiplicative inverse of 98 is 198.

is it ok?
