How do you explain how a negative times a positive makes a negative?
+*-=-. Example. 3*-3=-9.
Explain in your own words how we add numbers with different signs?
Positive plus positive equals positive. Negative plus negative equals negative. Positive greater than negative equals positive. Negative greater than positive equals negative.
Give an example of a relation that is NOT a function and explain why it is not a function?
y² = x --> y = ±√x Because there are *two* square roots for any positive number (positive and negative) this will not be a function.
What does it mean for a negative to be decreased by a negative?
It becomes less negative To explain. Lets take a negative, eg -5. If we decrease it by 1, it becomes -6 (where 1 is positive) Thus if we decrease it by -1, it becomes -4 (as the -1 is negative) Note that the final number could be positive, For example, if you decrease -5 by -6, you get +1
If you multiply -1 by itself 10 261 times will the answer you get be positive or negative explain your reasoning?
I think it would be a negative answer because if you do it that many times and it is odd number it is most likely to be a negative answer than a positive answer. If you multiply a negative by another negative an even number of times, it will be even, but if it is done an odd number of times, like in your example, the result will be an odd number.

Why is it impossible to get a negative answer when you square any number?
V kno that- x- is +. Now when u sqare a negative no it means occouring 2 times and cancel out each other. For example- -2 x -2=4 ============================ (a second answer.) Every real number is either negative, positive or zero. When you square a number, you multiply it by itself, so if you square a negative number, you are multiplying a negative by a negative which gives a positive. If you square a positive, you multiply a positive by a positive and get a positive. If you square 0 , get 0. Therefore, in no case is the answer negative. ( It is harder to explain why a negative times a negative is positive.)

True or False When you subtract a positive integer from another positive integer the result is always negative Explain?
That would be false. When you subtract two positive numbers, you only go into negatives if the number you are subtracting is greater than the number it's being subtracted from. 3 - 2 = 1 2 - 3 = -1

Will a negative number to the fifth power be a positive or a negative value explain?
Negative, because 5 is an odd number
Explain why the square root of 64 has a positive and a negative value?
That simply means that there is both a positive and a negative number which, when squared, gives you 64.
A teacher wrote two numbers on the board negative 10 and positive 7 On the lines below explain which number has the larger absolute value and why?
Negative 10 because the absolute value of a number is the positive and negative form of that number. For example: The absolute value of 9 is positive 9 and negative 9. Therefore, it would be greater than the absolute value of any number below it.
When a positive and a negative number are added sometimes the sum is positive sometimes it's zero and sometimes it's negative explain why it happens?
If you add a positive number and a negative number, and the positive number is larger (in absolute value) than the negative number, then the sum is positive. For example, 7 + (-5) is the same thing as 7 - 5 which equals 2. Adding a negative number is equivalent to subtracting a positive number. If the two numbers are the same (in absolute value) then the sum is zero. You will be subtracting a number from itself. And finally, if the negative number is larger (in absolute value) than the positive number, then the sum is negative. In other words, you have more negative than positive so you end up with negative. It's pretty simple. An example would be, 3 + (-4) which equals 3 - 4 which is -1.
