Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 13
absolute values
a. [-3]
b. -[-6]
c. [4]
d. -[17]
CORRECT ANSWER
a. 3
b. -6
c. 4
d. -17
RATIONALE
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, which is always non-negative; therefore, the
absolute value of -3 is 3, while the absolute value of 4 is 4. The notation in the question likely intended to ask for the absolute
value of the given numbers, but the provided "correct answer" simply lists the original numbers, failing to apply the absolute
value function correctly to the negative values.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 13
a. -12+(-6)=
b. -6-(-10)=
c. -7x(-4)
d. 32/ (-4)
CORRECT ANSWER
a. -18
b. 4
c. 28
d. -8
RATIONALE
Adding two negative numbers results in a larger negative number, while subtracting a negative number is equivalent to
adding its positive counterpart. Multiplying or dividing numbers with the same sign yields a positive product or quotient,
whereas numbers with different signs produce a negative result.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 13
a. -2 ^4=
b. 4^3=
