The absolute value function is y = |x|. is it possible for the absolute value function to ever have a negative y value? here is a ’m looking for the actual definition of the absolute value in terms of distance with a detailed example to support your response. is there a way to transform an absolute value function to have negative outputs?

If you place a negative sign in front of the absolute value symbol, then it is possible for the y value to be negative. y= -|x|for example if x=1 then y is equal to -1.

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
