Question

Which is greater |-2| or-2

Answer 1

To Find :

Which is the greater |-2| or -2 .

Solution :

Value of |x| for any value of x ( real number ) is always positive .

$|x| = \left \{ {x , \ for \ x >= 0 \atop { -x, \ for \ x < 0 }} \right.$

So, |-2| = 2 > -2

Therefore, the value of |-2| is greater than -2 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
