Question

Write the absolute value:(1) 17 (2) (-18) (3) 0 (4) (-25) (5) 16

Answer 1

1.) 17
2.) 18
3.) 0
4.) 25
5.) 16

Answer 2

Answer:

• (1) 17.
• (2) 18.
• (3) 0.
• (4) 25.
• (5) 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number simply denotes the distance of the number from the origin on a number line, whether the number is positive or negative the distance is always taken to be positive therefore the absolute value of a number is the magnitude of that number irrespective of the sign assigned to that number.

Thus,

(1) The absolute values of 17 = |17| = 17.

(2) The absolute values of (-18) = |-18| = 18.

(3) The absolute values of 0 = |0| = 0.

(4) The absolute values of (-25) = |-25| = 25.

(5) The absolute values of 16 = |16| = 16.
