Question

Which of the following have a value equal to |-32|?A) -(32)B) -32C) 32D) |32|E) 0

Answer 1

The vertical bars in:

`|-32|`

Indicates the absolute value function, which takes the value inside and outputs always a positive value.

So, the result of this must be positive 32.

Also, we can get positive 32 by applying two negative signs, like -(-32).

Applying the absolute value into positive 32 also get the positive value, so |32| gets to 32.

So, the correct alternatives are A, C and D.
