Question

How do you find the absolute value of `abs(0)`?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

You can do it either algebraicly or geometrically:

Algebraicly

Absolute value is defined as:

`|x|={(x, x>=0),(-x,x<0) :}`

so if you use this formula for `x=0` you get: `|0|=0`

Geometrically

Absolute value of `x` is geometrically defined as the distance between `x` and `0` on a number line.

In case of `x=0` `x` and `0` is the same point, so the distance (i.e. the absolute value) is zero.
