What is the distance between 5 -2 and -3 4?
√[(X2-X1)2+(Y2-Y1)2]minus a negative is plus a positive√[(5+3)2+(-2-4)2]plus a negative is minus a positive√(82-62)√(64-36)√28 or 2√7
Does a positive plus a negative equal a negative?
Not necessarily. 5 + (-6) = -1, a negative 5 + (-5) = 0 or 5 + (-4) = 1, a positive.
Why is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always negative?
It isn't always negative. ... for example: -5 + 12 = 7 (a positive number) -5 + 2 = -3 (a negative number) -5 + 5 = 0 (neither negative nor positive) If the negative number has greater magnitude than the positive number, the sum will be negative If the positive number has greater magnitude than the negative number, the sum will be positive If the negative and positive numbers have the same magnitude, the sum will be zero.
What is the answer when you subtract a positive number and a negative number?
You know the saying two lefts don't make a right? Well, the opposite applies here. Two negatives indeed do make a positive. Say I have two numbers, 10 and -5, and I want to subtract the positive one from the negative one. 10 - (-5) <-- two negatives in a row become a positive. 10 + 5 = 15 You can verify this yourself by using a number line. The difference is visually the distance between two numbers on a number line. The distance from 10 to -5 is indeed 15.
What is the answer to negative fifteen divided by positive three?
Negative 5. It's normal division, except you need to remember these rules: Positive & Negative = Negative Positive & Positive = Positive
Why do you get a positive number when you take the absolute value of a negative number?
Basically, the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero... so that distance would be 5, whether you are talking about positive 5 or negative 5, right? So, if you just ignore positive and negative for a specific number, you will have its absolute value.
What is the distance between 5 -2 and -3 4?
√[(X2-X1)2+(Y2-Y1)2]minus a negative is plus a positive√[(5+3)2+(-2-4)2]plus a negative is minus a positive√(82-62)√(64-36)√28 or 2√7
What is x when the distance between x and negative 4 is less than negative 3?
-5?
Negatives are never absolute values WHY?
The absolute value is the distance from 0 on the number line. -5 is 5 away from 0. You cannot have a negative distance, therefore you cannot have a negative absolute value. Absolute values are not ALWAYS positive because absolute values can be zero as well. Zero is not positive nor negative.
Negative minus a negative?
Positive minus a negative = positive plus a positive two negatives make a positive 3- (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4 5- (-7) = 12
What is negative 4 times negative 5 equal?
A negative times a negative is a positive (-4)(-5) = positive 20
How do you multiply a positive and a negative number?
To multiply a negative and positive just multiply regularly and then make negative ex. 6*-5=-30 In general, here are the rules for multiplying signed numbers: positive x positive = a positive 4 x 5 = +20 positive x negative = a negative 4 x -5 = -20 negative x positive = a negative -5 x 4 = -20 negative x negative = a positive -5 x -4 = +20
What is a negative minus a ngeative?
a negative + negative = negative (ex. -10+-10=-20) a positive + negative = a positive or a negative depending on how high the negative number is (ex1. 10+-5=5 , ex2. 10+-15=-5) a positive + positive = a positive "obviously" (ex. 2+2=4) a negative - negative = positive (ex. -5--10=5) because the minus sign and the negative sign automatically turn into an addition sign.
Is a negative time a negative equals a positive?
No. It is actually a negative. Yes it is positive. Previous answer was incorrect. Negative times negative = positive. example: -5 x -5 = +25
Which number gives the distance between psotive 27 and negative 7?
The answer to that is going to be -5 ( negative five)
Is a negative minus a negative a positive or negative?
It could be negative, zero or positive depending upon the relative sizes of the numbers: -5 - -4 = -1 (negative) -5 - -5 = 0 (zero) -5 - -6 = 1 (positive)
What is 6 plus negative 1?
6 + (-1) positive and negative will equal negative. so it's 6-1 that would equal 5. positive and positive= positive positive negative= negative negative negative = positive negative positive= negative
