Question

What is the absolute value of $0$?

Answer 1

Absolute value:

The absolute value represents the distance on the number line from the origin. Since the distance can not be negative. Therefore, the absolute value of any number will be always positive.

The absolute value of a number $a$ is represented as $\left|a\right|$.

Example:

$\left|5\right|=5$, Distance of number $5$ from zero is $5$ units.

$\left|-6\right|=6$, Distance of number $-6$ from zero is $6$units.

$\left|0\right|=0$, Distance of number $0$ from zero on number line is $0$ unit.

Hence, the absolute value of $0$ is $0$.
