Question

Please answer these for me:

10. Look at the bank account transactions listed below and determine which has the greatest impact on the account balance. Explain.
a. A withdrawal of $60.
b. A deposit of $55.
c. A withdrawal of $58.50.
And
7. True or false. If false explain why.
Positive numbers will always have a higher absolute value than negative numbers.

Answer 1

10) A withdrawl of $60, because it means that the bank account will decrease $60, while the other numbers are lower.

7. False. The absolute value does not take into account the sigh of the number but the distance to zero. Thus, for example the absolute value of - 100 is 100 and it is bigger than the absolute value of +50 which is 50.
