Basically if there was a bunker at A and an army at B, B would go on the sides to ambush A, without A noticing.

a multiple, as follows:positive * positive = positivepositive * negative = negativenegative * negative = positivemore than 2 numbers:positive * positive * positive = positivepositive * positive * negative = negativepositive * negative * negative = positivenegative * negative * negative = negativeand so on...also, (any number) * 0 = 0
positive numbers=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9negative numbers=-1,-,2,-,3,-,4,-,5,-,6,-,7,-,8,-9positive+negaitive=bigger#positive*negaitive=negitivepositive/negaitive=negaitivepositive-negaitive=bigger#___________________________negaitive+negaitive=negaitivenegaitive-negaitive=positivenegaitive*negaitive=positivenegaitive/negaitive=positive____________________________positive+positive=positivepositive-positive=bigger#positive*positive=positivepositive/positive=positive
False.positive x positive = positivepositive x negative = negativenegative x positive = negativenegative x negative = positiveEvery 2 negative factors provides a positive result, so if there are an odd number of negative factors, there are 2n + 1 of them which means the 2n would provide a positive factor to be multiplied by the final negative factor which gives a negative result.
The rule goes:negative times negative equals positivenegative times positive equals negativepositive times positive equals positivepositive times negative equals negativeAnswer multiplicationNEGATIVE=OPPOSITEOpposite is just another word for negative, here's why.1. The opposite(negative) of positive is negative.2.The opposite(negative) of negative is positive. NOW WATCH IF YOU DONT THINK SOEX: 5*5=25....CHANGE TO OPPOSITE (NEGATIVE)....-5*-5=25ALSO:5*-5=-25.....THEN...5*5=25.....MY POINT IS...-25 and 25 are opposites of each other.FINAL ANSWER:NEGATIVE IS THE SAME AS OPPOSITENegative sign implies that it must move in the opposite direction. Thus, for example lets say, -5*-1. It's clear meaning is that move in direction(in xy plane)of magnitude 5 and in the direction opposite to that of -5. Thus the expression -5*-1 gives +5.
To divide negative and positive numbers, first, look at the signs (= or -) If there is -__divided by -__, that will equal +___.So, same equal positive... and different equals negative.EX.-9 dvided by +3= -3 (different signs, negative answer)+9 divided by -3 = -3 (different signs, negative answer)+9 divided by +3= +3 (same signs, positive answer)-9 divided by -3= +3 (same signs, positive answer)Something that my teacher taught us to help us remember whether it would be positive or negative was the Love-Hate Theory.Love=PositiveHate=NegativeIf you have a positive number divided by a negative number, that would be Love and Hate, so if you love to hate, than that is basically hating, which is negative. Negative divided by a negative would be hate to hate, which is love, so positive. If you need more help, post something on my message board. Sara Mariepositive divided by a positive=positivepositive divided by negative=negativenegative divided by negative=positive (i know crazy isn't it!)
