Question

100 POINTS IF CORRECT: Which of the following symbols could correctly finish the statement? select all that apply. |-2|___ -|2| = ≠ > < none of these ≤

Answer 1

≠ >

Explanation:

|-2| is equal to 2 because | | is the absolute value sign and absolute value means how far is a number away from zero regardless of whether it is negative or positive. so the because the negative sign in with the absolute value sign the answer to the |-2| is 2.

-|2| is equal to -2 because the negative sign is on the outside of the the absolute value sign. first you would solve |2| as being equal to 2 then you would apply the - sign on the outside to get -2

2 is not equal to -2 hence ≠ is correct

2 is greater than -2 hence > is also correct
