Question 398316: the absolute value of any number is the same as the absolute value of its additive inverse. true or false?
and why or why not? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! True. The absolute value gives the distance of a number, whether positive or negative, from 0. Since a number and its additive inverse are equidistant from 0, they should have the same absolute value.
