how do u do this: | -32 |?

Question

this is the problem:

Simply |-32|

Answer 1

| x | is the magnitude of x
| - 32 | is the magnitude of (- 32) = 32

Answer 2

32

Answer 3

It's 32.

If the question wasnt for -32, it was just 32, it would still be the same. Absolute Value simply means that whatever is inside of the lines is going to be positive. So if it were I -32 I + 4 the answer would be +36. I hope this helps!!!

Answer 4

The two vetical lines means absolute value. The absolute value of a number is how far the number is away from zero. So, |-32| =32. And, |32|= 32. You just take the number inside of the absolute value bars and that is your answer, regardless if it is negative or positive.

Answer 5

Thats easy
Those two bars around a number means they want the absolute vaule of the number
AN absolute vaule is mainly the opposite of a problem but its always postive
For that answer the answer would be 32
If the problem was l 32 l Then it would still be 32 i hope this helps you out and if you need any more help in math email me cuz i am a genius in math (Well not really but it is my strongest point in school)

Answer 6

Inside the horizontal bar (|) signs a number or sum (in case where there are more than 1 numbers) is absolute and it doesn't matter whether or not it (number or sum) is positive or negative.

As in the case of your problem removing the enclosing signs yields as an answer 32; simply 32.

Answer 7

when the 2 lines are on the sides, it means that number has to bepositive so the answer is simply 32. it is called absolute value.

Answer 8

32 It's absolute value. The numerical value regardless of sign.

Answer 9

32. I think it's called absolute value...

Answer 10

When you have two bars around a question that means the absolute value of the number and equally means taking in consideration the negative and positive value of the number.thanks
