What is the proper expression for the absolute value of 3? a) 3 b) 32 c) -(3) d) |3|

D.) |3|

Absolute value always puts the number into a barrier. The barrier means the negative sign doesn't matter because the number inside absolute value is always positive.

The answer would be D, For 4 reasons, Reason 1, because when doing an absolute absolute value expression you have the symbol for absolute value,|  |  . Reason 2, because absolute values CAN NOT be negative unless there is a negative number/symbol outside the absolute value expression, which makes it impossible for C to be an answer. Reason 3, the question is  "What is the proper expression for the absolute value of 3?" so B could not be the answer because that is 32 not 3. Reason 4, the question is asking for the absolute value expression not the absolute value answer.

Cbottom left is the correct one.
