Find absolute values of the following:
(a) 2 (b) -15

Given :

The given numbers are 2 and $-15$

To do :

We have to find the absolute values of 2 and $-15$.

Solution :

The absolute value of a number is represented in the form as |x|. It represents the distance between x and 0 on the number line. The equation for an absolute value is mentioned below.

$|x|=x$  |x|={x if $x>0$, x if $x=0$ and $-x$, if $x<0$.

(a) Absolute value of 2 is,

|2| = 2

(b) Absolute value of $-15$ is,

$|-15| = -(-15) = 15$.

The absolute value 2 is 2, and $-15$ is 15.
