Answer:

  • Magnitude is never a negative value.
  • The magnitude of –1.9 is |–1.9| which is 1.9.
  • The numbers –4 and 4 have the same magnitude.

Explanation:

In general, "magnitude" and "absolute value" mean the same thing. The above answer choices are the ones consistent with this idea.

Additional comment

In multiple dimensions, the magnitude (or "norm") is often represented using the absolute-value bars. It is often computed as the root of the sum of the squares of the coordinates. The same is true for complex numbers.
