    The document defines absolute value as the numerical value of a number without regard to its sign, gives examples of the absolute value of positive and negative numbers, and states that the symbol for absolute value is two vertical lines. It also lists rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers, such as ignoring signs and finding the difference for adding integers with different signs, changing subtraction to addition and the second term's sign when subtracting, and the answer being positive if terms have the same sign or negative if they have different signs for multiplication and division.

    1. What is an absolute value?

    In mathematics, the absolute value (or modulus) |a| of a real number a is the numerical value of a without regard to its sign. So, for example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of -3 is also 3.

    2. What is an absolute value of a number always positive? The absolute value of a number that is positive will be the number itself 3. What is the symbol for an absolute value? The symbol to show the absolute value is two vertical lines 4. State the rules in adding integers

    RULES FOR ADDING INTEGERS WITH THE SAME SIGNS

    RULES FOR ADDING INTEGERS WITH DIFFERENT SIGNS


    1. Ignore the signs and find the difference. 2. Give the answer the sign of the larger number

    RULES FOR SUBTRACTING INTEGERS

    1. Change the subtraction sign to addition. 2. Change the sign of the second number to the opposite sign. 3. Follow the rules for adding integers.

    RULES FOR MULTIPLYING AND DIVIDING INTEGERS

    1. If the numbers have the same sign, the answer is positive. 2. If the numbers have different signs, the answer is negative.
