Answer:

When we are considering distance in relation to a fixed point

Step-by-step explanation:

When we consider , the distance of an object relative to a fixed point, it will make sense to compare the absolute values of numbers rather than the numbers themselves.

For instance, the depth of an object below see level is -32.

And also, the height of an object above see level 12.

This time it wouldn't make sense to to compare the numbers themselves to see which is farther from sea level but rather their absolute value.

Each whole number from 0 to 9 is paired with its opposite. is this a function or not
dimaraw [331]
A function has the property that each element of the domain maps to only one element. For example, if there's ever the case where a relation includes point (1,2) and (1,3) then that relation is not a function. So for each case write down all the points as described. If one point in the domain ever maps to two different points, then it's not a function
