Question

Given the numbers c = –3 and d = 4, which statement is true? A. |–c| = 3 and |–d| = –4 B. |–c| = 3 and –|d| = –4 C. –|c| = –4 and –|d| = 3 D. |–c| = 3 and –|d| = 4

Answer 1

Answer:

D. |–c| = 3 and –|d| = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given these values of two variables and asked which of the statements in the given options is true:

c = –3 and d = 4

In mathematics, we know that the absolute value or modulus of a real number x is the non-negative value of x despite of whatever sign it has, positive or negative.

Therefore, the modulus of c  |–c| = 3 and modulus of  –|d| = 4 so option D is the correct one.
