Answer:

Sarah is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Which of the students is correct

Let a number be x,

Given what the teacher asked the students to do, the solution is:

[tex]Number = x[/tex]

[tex]Opposite = -x[/tex]

[tex]Absolute = |x|[/tex]

Only Sarah got this correctly; others are incorrect.

The proof is as follows.

For Sarah

[tex]Number = 1416[/tex]

[tex]Opposite = -1416[/tex]

[tex]Absolute =|1416| = 1416[/tex]

So, the numbers will be: 1416, -1416 and 1416

Other students are incorrect
