Question

Is there a relationship between the distance and the sum? Is there a relationship between the distance and the difference? A 5-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled a with entries 1, 4, negative 6. Column 2 is labeled b with entries 2, negative 1, negative 3. Column 3 is labeled a + b with entries 3, 3, negative 9. Column 4 is labeled a minus b with entries negative 1, 5, negative 3. Column 5 is labeled Distance with entries 1 unit, 5 units, 3 units. Which describes the relationship between the distance and the difference?

Answer 1

The relationship between the distance and the difference is that the distance is the absolute value of the difference.

What is absolute value?

Absolute value refers to the removal of any preceding minus sign and the treatment of all numbers as positive (or zero).

For instance, 5 has an absolute value of 5, and -5 has a value of 5. One way to think about a number's absolute value is its distance from zero on the real number line.

The last two columns are the ones that interest us.

Comparing them reveals that each distance column value corresponds to a certain difference value in absolute terms:

a - b        = 1, 5, - 3

distance  = 1, 5, 3
