单词 absolute value
释义
absolute value

Physics
  • The square root of the sum of the squares of the real numbers in a complex number, i.e. the absolute value of the complex number z=x  +  iy is |z|=(x2+y2).


Mathematics
  • For any real number a, the absolute value (also called the modulus) of a, denoted by |a|, is a itself if a0, and a if a0. Thus |a| is positive except when a=0. The following properties hold:

    1. (i) |ab|=|a||b|.

    2. (ii) |a+b||a|+|b|.

    3. (iii) |ab|||a||b||.

    4. (iv) For a>0, |x|a if and only if axa.

    (ii) is the triangle inequality and (iii) is sometimes known as the reverse triangle inequality.

Statistics
  • The value of a number disregarding its sign. Denoted by a pair of ‘|’ signs: thus the modulus of −2.5 is |−2.5 |=2.5.


Computer
  • The magnitude of a number, regardless of its sign (positive or negative). For example, 25 is the absolute value of 25 and −25. Most spreadsheet programs include a function that returns the absolute value of a number.
