Why there isn’t a “imaginary” number for absolute values…

What is an imaginary number? An imaginary number, is a number that doesn’t work in the normal rules of algebra, doesn’t exist in our normal number system, and can’t be counted to (by using natural numbers).

What is an example of an imaginary number?

So about absolute value…

Why won’t that work? The absolute value of a number is the distance that number is from zero. Think would it make sense to say: “I am -9 meters away from you”? It would make sense if you said: “I am -9 meters in front of you” or “-9 meters behind you” but you can’t be -9 meters away from something. That is why absolute value exists and can’t be a negative number.

Photo example: -9 meters apart IT DOESN’T WORK!

So… If you draw a line, square, cube, tesseract, etc. no matter where you put your point, no matter what dimension your graph is in, Your point can never be a negative distance away. It is impossible, even for an imaginary number to be a negative distance away from something.
