No.
It is the sign that is opposite, not the number But if the number magnitude is the same, it is correct to say that ,for example, negative 6 is the opposite of positive six. But negative 4 is not the opposite of negative 8, for example
Minus Sign
You subtract smaller number from larger and take sign of the larger For example negative 7 + 4 = -3
the number that has the minus sign in front of it is negative and the normal number is positive example: negative: -9 positive: 9
a negative slope is any number with a negative sign like -1, -20, -30, -154879652
If two sides of an inequality are multiplied (or divided) by a negative number, you have to invert the sign. For example, a "less-than" sign becomes a "greater-than" sign.
A negative number is a number less than zero (to the left of the number zero, on a standard number-line). It is written with a minus sign. For example, -5 is 5 less than zero.
A decimal that has a negative sign in front of it, for example -0.5 would be a negative decimal, on a number line it would be to the left of 0.
Positive numbers are any numbers greater than zero.For example: 1, 2.9, 3.14159, 40000, and 0.0005.Negative numbers are any number less than zero.For Example: -1, -2.9, -3.14159, -40000, and -0.0005.For each positive number, there is a negative number that is its opposite. We write the opposite of a positive number with a negative or minus sign in front of the number, and call these numbers negative numbers.We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number.The sum of any number and its (negative) opposite is 0.The sign of a number refers to whether the number is positive or negative.For example: The sign of -3.2 is negative, and the sign of 442 is positive.We may also write positive and negative numbers as fractions or mixed numbers.
The fractional form of a negative number is just like that of a positive number, except a negative sign is added in front of it. For example, -0.33333333333333... = -1/3.
Yes, a negative number can be expressed in scientific notation. In scientific notation, a negative number is indicated by the negative sign (-) placed before the first significant digit. The number is then written in the form of a decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by a power of 10. For example, -3.2 x 10^-5 is a negative number expressed in scientific notation.
When you are subtracting a negative from a positive or a positive from a negative, you change subtraction to addition and change the sign of the next value. example: (-23)-(-12).......change it to........(-23)+12 Then you subtract the bigger number from the smaller number. Don't worry about the negative signs just pretend that the numbers are both positve. Example: 23-12=11 Then you take the sign of the biggest number. example: 23 was the bigger number and it was negative so the answer is -11 Hope this helped!
