Question

What are the "kid" definations for integer, negative integer, positive
integer, absolute value, and opposites?

Answer 1

INTEGER = a whole number (having no decimal or fraction)
NEGATIVE INTEGER = an integer less than 0
POSITIVE INTEGER = an integer greater than 0
ABSOLUTE VALUE = a positive representation of a number
OPPOSITES = the negitive of a positive number or the positive of a negitive number

Answer 2

Integers are whole numbers (1,2,3...), zero, and negative numbers (-1, -2, -3...). So 'integers' include this whole range of numbers, 'positive' integers are whole numbers (1,2,3...), and 'negative' integers only include negative numbers (-1,-2, -3...). There are no fractions or decimals in the integer numbers.

An absolute value of a number is the numerical value of a number, where the positive or negative sign in front is basically removed. Example- +4 would turn into 4 and this would be placed in the middle of two vertical (up and down) lines indicating that it is an absolute value. Also, -4 would turn in a 4 placed in the middle of two vertical lines showing that it is an absolute value.

Opposites are numbers that make 0 when added together because one is positive and one is negative. Example:
1 + -1 = 0, -10 + +10 = 0, -4 + 4 =0

Answer 3

integer = whole number including zero & negative numbers
- integer = whole number less than zero
+ integer = whole number greater than zero
absolute value = a numbers distance from zero
opposites = number with same absolute value as another number but with opposite sign (3 opposite = -3)

Answer 4

I think most of the answers, the ones that at least thought about it, are right. Except I learned that a good way to remember what absolute value is simply it's distance from zero, but yes, always positive.

Answer 5

integer = whole # without any decimals
negative integer = negative whole # without any decimals
positive integer = positive whole # without any decimals
absolute value = If you have a positive number, keep it. If you have a negative number, make it positive.
opposite = if you have a positive number, make it negative. If you have a negative number, make it positive.

Hope that helped :)

Answer 6

hhmmm.....i don't know if i remember from last year...lol
i can tell you absolute value....
if it was this....
|-3|...the answer would be 3...because its what it is without the negative...and i know all the other names....but i just forget the exact def...and i dont wanna screw you up because it can be confusing
hope this helps
