Key Concepts

Absolute Value

The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on the number line, meaning it is always non-negative regardless of the number's original sign.

Negation

A negative sign applied to an expression indicates that the entire value of the expression should be multiplied by -1, effectively changing its sign.

Order of Operations

The order of operations dictates that computations inside functions like absolute value should be performed before applying external operations such as negation, ensuring that the correct result is obtained.
