Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Two numbers which have an absolute value of 16
To find: Which of the two numbers is greater than 12
Solution:
Absolute Value Function :
We know that for any number x,
[tex]\left | x \right |=x\,;\,,x\geq 0\\\left | x \right |= -x\,;\,,x< 0[/tex]
For numbers 16 and - 16:
As -16 < 0, [tex]\left | -16 \right |=-(-16)=16[/tex]
As 16 > 0 , [tex]\left | 16 \right |=16[/tex]
[tex]\left | 16 \right |=16\,,\,\left | -16 \right |=16[/tex]
Here, [tex]16> 12[/tex] and [tex]-16< 12[/tex]
So, out of numbers 16 and - 16 such that [tex]\left | 16 \right |=\left | -16 \right |=16[/tex] , 16 is greater than 12.
