Worked practice questions

What number results from negating zero?

  1. Plus one
  2. Minus one
  3. Zero
  4. Undefined
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Zero

1. Negation changes the sign of a number. 2. Zero has no sign, so its negation is zero itself. 3. Zero plus zero is zero, so 1, -1 and undefined are wrong. _Source: Wikipedia, Negative number, Negation_

What is the absolute value of -3?

  1. -3
  2. 0
  3. 9
  4. 3
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 3

1. Absolute value is the non-negative number with the same magnitude. 2. The magnitude of -3 is 3. 3. The answer is not -3 because absolute value cannot be negative. _Source: Wikipedia, Negative number, Negation_

The absolute value of zero equals which number?

  1. Zero
  2. One
  3. Minus one
  4. Infinity
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Zero

1. Absolute value gives the non-negative number of the same magnitude. 2. Zero has magnitude zero, so its absolute value is 0. 3. One, minus one and infinity have a different magnitude. _Source: Wikipedia, Negative number, Negation_
