Modulus Number

Absolute value (or modulus) a of a real number a is a's numerical value without regard to its sign. An absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields and vector spaces. The same notation is used with sets to denote cardinality; the meaning depends on context.

In mathematics, the absolute value (or modulus) |a| of a real number a is a's numerical value without regard to its sign. So, for the example, 3 is the absolute value of both 3 and -3.

|3| and |-3| = 3

an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields andvector spaces.

The graph of the absolute value function for real numbers.

For any real number a the absolute value or modulus of a is denoted by | a | (a vertical bar on each side of the quantity) and is defined as As can be seen from the above definition, the absolute value of a is always either positive or zero, but never negative. The same notation is used with sets to denote cardinality; the meaning depends on context.

Since the square-root notation without sign represents the positive square root, it follows that which is sometimes used as a definition of absolute value.

The modulus of x, written |x|, is defined as |x| = { x for x > 0 { -x for x < 0  In other words, |x| means the magnitude of x. For example, |-2| = 2 |2|=2  The modulus function is sometimes called the absolute value function.
