Write two numbers that have the given absolute value.
4
38
260
4092
I know one is 4 but do not know the second unless it is -4
Do not have no clue can someone explain?
4, -4
38, -38
260, -260
4092, -4092
You are right. The absolute value of +4 and -4 are both 4.
Continue on.
Sure! The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of whether the number is positive or negative. So, for the given numbers:
Absolute value of 4 is 4.
Absolute value of -4 is also 4.
Since the absolute value only considers the distance from zero, both 4 and -4 have the same absolute value, which is 4.
To find a number with a given absolute value, we need to consider both the positive and negative values.
Let's take the given absolute value of 4 as an example. We know that the absolute value of a number is the distance from that number to zero on the number line, regardless of whether the number itself is positive or negative. So, for an absolute value of 4, we have two options: 4 and -4.
Similarly, for the other given values:
- Absolute value of 38: You can have either 38 or -38.
- Absolute value of 260: You can have either 260 or -260.
- Absolute value of 4092: You can have either 4092 or -4092.
In summary, for each given absolute value, there are two possible numbers that can have that absolute value: one positive and one negative.
