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 → ( abs ‘ 𝐴 ) = - 𝐴 )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 sqrtthi.1 𝐴 ∈ ℝ
2 absnid ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℝ ∧ 𝐴 ≤ 0 ) → ( abs ‘ 𝐴 ) = - 𝐴 )
3 1 2 mpan ( 𝐴 ≤ 0 → ( abs ‘ 𝐴 ) = - 𝐴 )
