What happens when you subtract a negative from a negative?
A large negative number. For example: -5-4=-9 You take the negative of the sum of the absolute values: -x-z = -(|-x|+|-z|) = -(x+z) As to what actually happens - some really rather abstract things to do with discrete mathematics.
What if you add a negative to a positive?
If you add a positive and a negative number, the result can be positive, negative, or zero - depending on which of the numbers has the greater absolute value. Here are some examples: 4 + (-4) = 0 (zero) 4 + (-6) = -2 (negative) 4 + (-2) = 2 (positive)
What are some examples of real life situations to explain why a negative number times a negative number will give a negative number?
A negative number times a negative number gives you a POSITIVE number, not a negative number.
Is the sum of an absolute value is the same of their absolute values?
The sum of the absolute values of two numbers is greater or equal than the absolute values of the sum. It will be equal if both are positive or both are negative; greater if one is positive and one is negative. Try it out with some sample numbers!
What are some characteristics of 'absolute value'?
Absolute value means disregarding the negative sign if it exists. So 5, +5, -5 all have the absolute value of 5.
What does the absolute value of a number mean?
The absolute value of a number is the distance that number is from zero.A more accurate description is to say the absolute value of a number is the value of the number regardless of its "+" or "-" sign, which is also known technically as its "polarity".Further notesThe "value" of any particular number means the quantity or amount of some things which that number represents.Just a few examples of some values are shown in bold below:5 apples for which the absolute value is 5-12 volts for which the absolute value is 121000 houses for which the absolute value is 1000-273 oC for which the absolute value is 2730.1 miles for which the absolute value is 0.1
What are some negative number on a number line for 7?
-7
When you are squaring a negative number does it make a difference if the negative number is in parentheses?
Yes on some calculators it will make a difference.
What all kind or number is -8?
Some kinds are:an integer, a negative integera rational number, a negative rational number,a real number, a negative real number,In the following cases add the "negative"an even numbera perfect cube
How do you find the mean of a group of numbers where some are negative numbers?
The fact that they are negative only means that you subtract their absolute value. So to get the mean of 5, 6 and -2 sum = 5 + 6 - 2 = 9 number of values = 3 mean = 9/3 = 3
What is the sign of irrational number?
Some are positive and some are negative.
What are some negative integers whose absolute value is greater than 3?
-5, -23. -235689 are three examples.
