For the following set, which number has the largest absolute value?
4,-1,12,-20,19,0
Possible Answer of choice:
A)0
B)19
C)-20
D)-1
wouldn't it be postive 20 but its not within the choices.
What is the absolute value of -20?
Absolute value is the distance to 0 on a number line, so it is always positive. The absolute value of -x is x, and the absolute value of x is x too. Therefore, we can rule out C and D because absolute value cannot be negative. The answer would be 20, though that is not a choice, so the best answer is B 19.
