Absolute Value in an Ordered Field

Defines the absolute value |x| in an ordered field as x when 0 ≤ x and −x otherwise.

Statement

In the setting of Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation, let rr, with ++, ⋅\cdot, 00, 11 and ≤\le, be an ordered field, and let x∈rx\in r, with negative −x-x.

The absolute value of xx is ∣x∣=x|x|=x if 0≤x0\le x, and ∣x∣=−x|x|=-x otherwise.
