Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a is in absolute value symbols, you would be adding a positive number to 1, and therefore cannot have a number lower than 0.

For example, say a = -3. We would get 1 + |-3| = 4.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the vertical lines mean the absolute value of a.

-  a negative value of a like -2 in vertical lines  has absolute value 2.

If a = 0 then absolute value = 0.

So 1+|a|   will always be positive.
