Key Concepts

Absolute Value

The absolute value of a number is its non-negative magnitude, reflecting its distance from zero on the number line without regard to direction. It is defined so that for any real number a, |a| equals a if a is positive or zero, and -a if a is negative.

Rational Numbers

Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, with the denominator not equal to zero. They are an essential part of the number system and maintain key arithmetic properties that apply when operations such as absolute value are performed on them.
