A product of two integers is those two numbers multiplied together. If the product is two integers, it is called a square. Two negative integers are multiplied together by multiplying them together just as if they are positive. For example, -3x-3=9. It is exactly the same thing as squaring a positive integer.
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
No - the absolute value of any integer is either the integer itself or its positive equivalent, if negative.
There are just three possible cases: Positive integer: positive x positive = positive. Negative integer: negative x negative = positive. Zero: zero x zero = zero.
A negative integer raised to an even power results in a positive integer, not a negative integer. This occurs because multiplying a negative number by itself an even number of times cancels out the negative signs. For example, ((-2)^2 = 4) and ((-3)^4 = 81), both of which are positive. Therefore, the statement is incorrect; a negative integer raised to an even power is always positive.
No. There is no integer that, when multiplied by itself, produces the answer -36.
The sum of any one number is itself.
Negative numbers are integers as well. The absolute value of any negative integer will be positive and therefore larger than itself.
a negative integer
Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
No, an integer and its absolute value are not always opposites. The absolute value of an integer is always non-negative, while the integer itself can be negative, zero, or positive. For example, the integer -5 has an absolute value of 5, which are opposites, but the integer 0 has an absolute value of 0, making them the same. Thus, they are only opposites when the integer is negative.
If the number is 0 or positive, then its absolute value is itself. If the integer is negative, then its absolute value will be its negative (which will be positive).To illustrate the second case, Abs(-3) = -(-3) = +3.
A negative integer multiplied by a negative integer is always a positive integer product. -x * -y = xy
