I am going to say positive. If it is 5 -2 well that is 3, which is positive. Possibly you mean 5 with a small -2 slightly raised after it. That means 5 raised to the power of -2. Any time you have a negative exponent, you can take the reciprocal, and make it positve. So 5^-2 {the ^ symbol means to raise the power of} can be rewritten as 1/(5^2), which is 1/25. And this is a positive number as well.

Is positive five greater than negative five?
Yes. Write the number line horizontally with the negative numbers to the left, zero in the middle and positive numbers to the right, then the further right a number is, the greater it is; so with two numbers the number further right on the line is the greater of the two: Positive five is to the right of negative five, therefore it is greater than negative five, ie +5 > -5
Is a negative five squared positive?
No. -5 x -5 = -25 ... still a negative number.
Is negative five a counting number?
No, it is not. Counting numbers are positive whole numbers.
How do you solve 5 the five is negative and has dashes on each side?
When ever there is any number or numbers in a / / that means that it is positive so the answer is positive five.
What is the value of -5 to the power of two?
(-5)2 =25 Because a negative number times another negative number gives a positive number and five fives are 25
What are adds number?
If you are thinking about numbers that look like this +5 then you are thinking of positive numbers. A positive number is any number above 0. Writing +5 is exactly like writing 5 as they are the same number. The opposite to a positive number is a negative number. A negative number is any number below 0. Negative five is written like this -5. I hope that helps
What is negative -5?
Positive five.
Is five bigger than -7?
Yes. Any positive number is bigger (greater than) any negative number.
Why cant you evaluate the square root of negative twenty five using real numbers?
using basic math principles, you can't find the square root of a negative number because in order for a number to be a square root, you have to multiply it by itself to get your radical. since a negative times a negative and a positive times a positive are both positive, it is impossible to find the square root of a negative number
Five plus negative two thirds?
Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. In this instance, 5 + (-2/3) = 4.3 recurring (that is, 4.33333...)
What is two minus negative three?
Two (2) minus negative three (-3) is five (5). When you subtract a negative number it is the same as adding a positive number of the same absolute value.
When subtracting negative numbers why does it stay negative?
If you have negative 8 and subtract 3, you keep going backwards...so you get negative 11. or if you have negative 3 apples, and take away 3, then you have negative 6 apples. Subtraction of a negative number from another negative number can be positive For example: If you have negative three and subtract negative eight you get positive five. -3 - (-8) = 5
