Math Problem Statement

Comparing absolute values, finding opposites, and solving inequalities with absolute values.

Solution

Let's address the tasks in the worksheet:

1. Inequalities Section:

For comparing the absolute values and other numbers:

  • 3|3| versus 77 versus 1|-1|:

    • 3=3|3| = 3
    • 1=1|-1| = 1
    • Thus, 3<73 < 7 and 7>17 > 1.
    • The correct inequality is: 3<7>1|3| < 7 > |-1|.
  • 3|-3| versus 4-4:

    • 3=3|-3| = 3
    • Thus, 3>43 > -4.
    • The correct inequality is: 3>4|-3| > -4.

2. Absolute Value & Opposites Section:

  • Opposite of 00:

    • The opposite of 00 is 00.
  • Opposite of 12-12:

    • The opposite of 12-12 is 1212.

3. Calculate Absolute Value:

  • 10.5|-10.5|:
    • The absolute value of 10.5-10.5 is 10.510.5.

Would you like more detailed explanations on any part? Here are some related questions you might explore:

  1. What are the properties of absolute values?
  2. How do opposites of numbers relate to their signs?
  3. When comparing absolute values, what should be considered?
  4. How do absolute values affect inequality relations?
  5. What happens to inequalities when multiplying or dividing by negative numbers?

Tip: Always remember that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction.
