hi all so this is a very basic question i think and i feel very bad for tumbling here but still i need to clear this, so from childhood i was taught that the negative numbers are less than positive but now when i am studying limits and functions i came across absolute function and it said |-x| = max{-x,x}. alright seems legit but now the book says that max of the two is -x and that's why function came out positive due to double minus sign, so i want to ask how is -x greater than x or i am doing something wrong here? thanks for ur help
