absolute value
This term is a technical mathematical concept used primarily in algebra and calculus. It describes a magnitude rather than a direction, effectively stripping away the negative sign from a number to focus on its distance from the origin. In a pedagogical context, it is often visualized as the distance between two points on a number line.
Because it is a specific mathematical operation, it is typically treated as a singular concept. While one can discuss multiple absolute values in a set of equations, the term itself functions as a specialized noun phrase within the register of mathematics and science.
Meanings
Examples
I need to remember that the absolute value is always non-negative.
To find the distance between two points, you can take the absolute value of their difference.
