Question

How many different integers can have the same absolute value? Give a example.

Answer 1

Up to 2 integers can have the same absolute value (a number and its opposite).

For example, 2 and -2 have the same absolute value. 5 and -5 also have the same absolute value.

Answer 2

Only two integers can have the same absolute value.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to find the number of different integers which gives same absolute value.

Absolute value is the number value, regardless of the sign whether it is negative or positive. On number line it is the distance between number and 0.

As we know integers can both positive and negative, and absolute value always remains positive.

If we take any integer let say -10 the absolute value of the number will be 10.

Similarly if we take 10 then the absolute value of the number will be 10.

Thus, the number 10 and -10 have same absolute value.

Hence, only two integers can have the same absolute value.
