Question

Select the smaller of the two given numbers. |−6|, |−11|

Answer 1

| - 6 |

Explanation:

the absolute value function always gives a positive value , that is

| - a | = | a | = a

then

| - 6 | = | 6 | = 6

| - 11 | = | 11 | = 11

since 6 < 11 , then

| - 6 | is the smaller of the 2 given numbers
