An opposite is a number that is located an identical distance on a number line, but in the opposite direction: 4 and -4 are opposites. The absolute value is the distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction: 4 and -4 both have the absolute value 4.

The absolute value of a number represents the number's distance from zero that is neither pistive or negative. If you have 5 and -5 for example, your absolute value would be /5/ because 5 is 5 numbers away from 0 and so is -5. Opposites are pairs of numbers that are the same distance from zero adn on the opposite sides of zero on the number line. If you have 4 the opposite of that would be -4. But if you were writing that in absolute value you would have to write it as /4/. Hope this helps you out.

An absolute value is a numerical value regardless of its sign.
for example an absolute value of -20 degrees is 20
Any negative value is an opposite value of the absolute value.
Opposites are numbers having opposite values like 100 and - 100.

no
if you have a positive # with in an absolute value it stays positive.
really an absolute value is just the distance from 0 a number is. and obviously you can't be -5 miles from your house... it can't be done. opposite you would mulitply the number by -1 to get the sign flipped
hope this helps

The additive inverse of a number is what you must add to that number to get a total of zero. eg. The additive inverse of 6 is -6, since we have to add -6 to 6 to get zero. Another example: The additive inverse of -13 is 13, since we have to add 13 to -13 to get zero. Another example: The additive inverse of 0 is 0, because 0 is the only number that can be added to 0 to get zero. As you can see, to get the additive inverse, just reverse the sign (+ to - ..or.. - to +) The absolute value of a number is that same number, but with its negative sign removed if it had one. examples: Absolute value of 6 is 6 Absolute value of -13 is 13 Absolute value of 0 is 0 SO, we can say that: "The additive inverse of a number is a number with the same absolute value but opposite sign."

Opposites are either negative or positive (ie 7 is the opposite of -7) and absolute values are NEVER negative.
