Statement

Let $F$ be an ordered field, with order relation $\le$ , zero element $0$ , and additive inverse $-x$ of an element $x$ , and let $x\in F$ .

The absolute value of $x$ is the element $|x|$ of $F$ given by

|x|=x\quad\text{if }0\le x,\qquad\text{and}\qquad |x|=-x\quad\text{if }0\le x\text{ does not hold.}
