Theorem absnidi

Description: A negative number is the negative of its own absolute value. (Contributed by NM, 2-Aug-1999)

Ref Expression
Hypothesis sqrtthi.1 ⊢ A ∈ ℝ
Assertion absnidi ⊢ A ≤ 0 → A = − A

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 sqrtthi.1 ⊢ A ∈ ℝ
2 absnid ⊢ A ∈ ℝ ∧ A ≤ 0 → A = − A
3 1 2 mpan ⊢ A ≤ 0 → A = − A
