What is the difference between 3.96 and 4.18?
The idea is to subtract one number from the other. If you get a negative number, omit the minus sign, i.e., take the absolute value.
How do i times by a minus number?
The same as a positive one. If you are multiplying a positive number by a negative, the answer will be negative. If you are multiplying a negative number by a negative, the answer will be positive.
What negative integer whose absolute value is greater than 5?
minus 75 is one possible answer.
What is the absolute value of rational numbers?
The term absolute value means that whether the number is positive or negative, you make it into a positive number, so the absolute value of, for example, minus six, is six. Rational number are numbers which can be expressed in the form of a ratio, meaning one integer divided by another integer.
Does a negative number minus a positive number equal a positive?
The simple answer to the question is no, under no circumstances. To work out the right answer for different combinations of signs, read on. When two signs are different, take the smaller number from the bigger number and keep the sign of the bigger number.Let's work out some examples...* minus one (-1) and (plus) another minus one, is minus two (-2) * minus one (-1) minus (take away) one, is also minus two (-2)So if you take away any positive number from a negative number, the result gets more and more negative as the value of the second number increases. Now let's try adding a positive number to a negative number...* minus two (-2) plus one (+1) = minus one (-1) * minus two (-2) plus two (+2) = zero (0) * minus two (-2) plus three (+3) = one (1)So adding a positive number to a minus number only equals a positive number when the value of the positive number is greater than the negative number.
What is the absolute value of one and one fourth?
It is one and one fourth. Absolute value just means how far the number is from 0, so even if the number is negative, for example -2, it is only 2 numbers away from 0. So the absolute value of -2 is 2. TIP: Absolute value = same number, NEVER negative.
How can one number be less than another and the absolute values of the number be the same?
If "one number" is negative and "another" is positive and the absolute values are the same, then "one number" will be less (because it is negative) than "another" (because it is positive). All negative numbers are less than any positive numbers.
What is the difference between a positive and negative fraction?
If you mean the difference in terms of numerical value, then it is the positive faction minus the negative faction, which is calculated as the positive fraction plus the absolute value* of the negative fraction - just like the difference between a positive and negative number. * The absolute value of a number is the value of the number ignoring any minus sign; eg abs(-4) = 4 = abs(4). If you mean the difference in terms of where they are on the number line, then the positive fraction is one side of zero (it is greater than zero) and the negative fraction is the other side of zero (it is less than zero).
What is the square root of negative 25?
The square root of any negative number is equal to the square root of its absolute value followed by i - an imaginary number representing the square root of minus one. Therefore, such that sqrt(25) = 5, sqrt(-25) = 5i.
Two minus negative one equals?
When you subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding its absolute value. So 2 -(-1) is the same thing as 2+1. Another way to remember this is that two negative signs in a row cancel each other out when adding or subtracting.
What is negative twenty nine minus negative twenty one?
Negative twenty nine minus negative twenty one is negative eight.
What is the symbol used to represent a negative square root of a number?
Negative square root is -√Square root of negative one is i.
