Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
|a| = a for a ≥ 0
|a| = -a for a < 0
therefore
|3| = 3 and |-3| = -(-3) = 3
Answer:
Graph 1 is the correct representation of absolute value of -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value of a number is the measure of positive distance on a number line from zero to that number.
It is denoted by:
[tex]\mid c \mid = c, \text{if c} > 0\\ ~~~~~ = -c, \text{if c} < 0[/tex]
So, the absolute value of -3 =
[tex]\mid -3 \mid = 3[/tex]
The correct representation of the absolute value option 1.
As the graph in option 1 represents the positive distance between zero and -3.
