Final answer:
Since absolute values determine the distance between the number and the value whether the value is positive or negative. As distance is always positive.
Thus, |a| is always nonnegative, even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is said that |a| is always nonnegative even though even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.
Step 2
This is because by the definition of an absolute value, any real number inside an absolute value symbol || will always be positive.

Step-by-step explanation:
As an an object is scaled up with the same proportions, one might think ts strength to weight ratio scales up with it. However, since the object as it scales greater in size also increases in weight, the strength to weight ratio actually decreases. If the elephant is scaled up 3 times, then its strength to weight ratio is divided by the same amount and is 1/3 the original or 1/3 as much.
