Question

Determine if the following statements are true or false. False [481] = |-481 -21 = -21 976976 1-94 = 94

Answer 1

I understand that you typed by error a square bracket instead of an absolute value vertical bar, right?

|481| = 481 this is a TRUE statement

|-21| = - 21 This is a FALSE statement since |-21| = 21

|976| = - |976| This is a FALSE statement, since |976| = |976| and not equal to the negative of it.

Is the last expression

|-94| = 94?

If such is the case, the statement is TRUE, since the absolute value of a number is ALWAYS the positive of that number.

|-94| = 94 TRUE statement.
