Why is the absolute value of a number never negative


Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 293 People

Answered by maham237 @



The absolute value of a number will never be negative because absolute value is the distance from zero, so it will always be positive. For example, you can't be -6 away from 0, you are 6 away from 0.
