text: The absolute value of x is thus always either positive or zero, but never negative: when x itself is negative (x < 0), then its absolute value is necessarily positive (|x| = −x > 0).
text: The absolute value of x is thus always either positive or zero, but never negative: when x itself is negative (x < 0), then its absolute value is necessarily positive (|x| = −x > 0).
text: The absolute value is always a positive number except for zero, as zero is neither positive or negative.
text: The larger absolute value in the equation is 15.5 and is a negative number so the final result is a negative number.
text: Flip the function around the \(x\)-axis, and then reflect everything below the \(x\)-axis to make it above the \(x\)-axis; this takes the absolute value (all positive \(y\) values).
text: It doesn’t pay any attention to whether the number is less than or greater than zero, and so absolute values are always positive numbers.

text: The absolute value of a number is simply the positive version of a number.
text: The absolute value of x is thus always either positive or zero, but never negative: when x itself is negative (x < 0), then its absolute value is necessarily positive (|x| = −x > 0).
text: You can see from this that the absolute value of a number is always positive with the exception of taking the absolute value of 0 (|0| = 0)
text: (This is why we don't say that the absolute value of a number is positive: Zero is neither negative nor positive.)

text: The absolute value of any number is either zero (0) or positive.
text: Well, the absolute value of something is always zero or positive which is never less than a negative number.
text: Okay, if absolute values are always positive or zero
text: (b) In this case if the absolute value is positive or zero then it will always be greater than or equal to a negative number.
text: This is why we don’t say that the absolute value of a number is positive: Zero is neither negative nor positive.
text: Whether $x$ is positive or negative, its absolute value will always be positive.
text: As determined from the above definition, the absolute value of a is always either positive or zero, but never negative.
text: Absolute value can be expressed as a function: f(x) = |x| = x if x is positive, = -x if x is negative.
text: The absolute value is ALWAYS positive.
text: Distance can never be negative; therefore, the absolute value of a number is always positive.
text: Two different expressions have an answer of 10 because the absolute value of a number is always positive.
text: NOTE that the absolute value is either positive or equal to zero and is NEVER negative.
text: Similarly, if you're given something like "| x – 2 | > –3", the first thing to note is that all absolute values are zero or positive.
text: The absolute value is ALWAYS positive.

text: The absolute value is ALWAYS positive.
text: As it is a positive distance, absolute value can’t ever be negative.
text: The absolute value of x is always either positive or zero, but never negative.
text: x − y | ≥ 0, since absolute value is always non-negative.
text: But this equation suggests that there is a number that its absolute value is negative.
text: Absolute value can be expressed as a function: f(x) = |x| = x if x is positive, = -x if x is negative.
text: But can an absolute value ever be negative, let alone be less than a negative?
text: 9 – 13 = –4, which is negative, so the absolute value of –4 is 4.
text: For example, the absolute value of x is x (if x is positive), or (-x) (if x is negative).
text: Thus, the absolute value is always a positive number even if the value is negative.
text: Distance, and therefore absolute value, is always a positive number.
text: Therefore, the absolute value of any number is a positive number or zero.
