The submarine is 217 feet below sea level. Identify the integer that represent the opposite of its location and its absolute value.
To identify the integer that represents the opposite of the submarine's location, you need to change the sign of its depth below sea level. Since the submarine is 217 feet below sea level, the opposite of this would be 217 feet above sea level.
To find the absolute value of this integer, you need to remove the negative sign and take the magnitude of the number. In this case, the absolute value of 217 would be 217 as it already doesn't have a negative sign.
So, the integer that represents the opposite of the submarine's location is +217, and its absolute value is also 217.
