Answer:

A, B, D

Explanation:

The options are:

A. Magnitude is never a negative value

This is true because the magnitude is only a representation of the numerical value of a number. It is the distance of the number from the 0 point on the number line. It is the absolute value of a number.

Hence, the polarity of the number is not necessary.

B. The magnitude of –1.9 is |–1.9| which is 1.9

This is true because they have the same numerical value.

C. The absolute value of a number is greater than its magnitude

This is false because absolute value and magnitude of a number are the same.

D. The numbers –4 and 4 have the same magnitude

This is true. They have the same absolute value, hence, they have the same magnitude.

E. The magnitude of -2/3 is less than the magnitude of 2/3

This is false as already explained in C above.
