Key Concepts

Absolute Value

Absolute value is a fundamental concept in mathematics that represents the non-negative magnitude of a real number, regardless of its sign. It expresses how far a number is from zero on the number line, disregarding whether the number is positive or negative.

Distance on the Number Line

This concept refers to the interpretation of absolute value as a measurement of distance. Since distance is always a non-negative quantity, the absolute value of a number is equivalent to the physical distance of that number from the origin on the number line.
