Question

1. |-5.96| = 5.96 -5.96 0 6

Explanation:

Step1: Recall absolute - value definition

The absolute value of a number \(a\), denoted as \(|a|\), is the non - negative value of \(a\). If \(a\geq0\), then \(|a| = a\); if \(a<0\), then \(|a|=-a\).

Step2: Evaluate \(|-5.96|\)

Since \(-5.96 < 0\), by the definition of absolute value, \(|-5.96|=-(-5.96)=5.96\).

Answer:

A. 5.96
