The additive opposite of the rational number q is -q. One of q and -q must be non-negative and that is its absolute value.
how do you identify opposite and absolute value of a rational number
how do you identify opposite and absolute value of a rational number
When the number is 0.
The opposite of the absolute value of x is always -abs(x).
The absolute value is always positive.
It is the number with the same magnitude (absolute value) and the opposite sign.
They are all non-positive rational numbers.
When the number is non-positive.
That is how absolute values are defined.
The answer depends on whether the "opposite" means the multiplicative inverse or the additive inverse.
An "opposite" is not a well defined term since there are additive opposites and multiplicative opposites and you have not specified which one.The absolute value of a rational number is the value of the number with a positive sign.Thus (abs(5/7) = 5/7and abs(-5/7) = 5/7
I would do it that way.
