What does a positive number multiplied by a negative number equal?
A negative times a positive equals a negative. For example 2 x -16=-32 A negative times a negative equals a positive For example -2 x -16=32 A positive times a positive equals a positive For example 2 x 16=32 Remember that this rule only applies to multiplication and it doesn't matter if the smaller number has the negative sign or the bigger number has the negative sign; It will still be a negative. Also remember that it doesn't matter whether its a negative times a positive or a positive times a negative ; It remains a negative regardless of the order of the signs. Lastly remember that a negative times a negative will always be a positive and a positive times a positive will always be a positive. For example -2 x 105=-210 105 x -2=-210 2 x -105=-210 -105 x 2=-210 105 x 2 =210 -105 x -2 =210 So this means that a negative times a positive will always equal a negative, a negative times a negative will always equal a positive, and a positive times a positive will always equal a positive. Now if you were dealing with more than two numbers with both negative and positive signs, the easiest way to know whether the answer will come up as a negative or positive is to imagine two negative signs merging into a positive sign and any remaining negative sign that does have another negative sign to pair with remains a negative;You can only combine negative signs in pairs(for example -2 x -2 x -2=4 x -2=-8).Now if you have a situation where you were able to pair up all of the negative signs into positives signs and have no negative signs left over, then the answer will be a positive (for example -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 x 2=16 x 2=32).
Do every polynomial function has at least one complex zero?
No. Complex zeros always come in conjugate pairs. So if a+bi is one zero, then a-bi is also a zero.The fundamental theorem of algebra says"Every polynomial equation of degree n with complex coefficients has n roots in the complex numbers."If you want to know how many complex root a given polynomial has, you might consider finding out how many real roots it has. This can be done with Descartes Rules of signsThe maximum number of positive real roots can be found by counting the number of sign changes in f(x). The actual number of positive real roots may be the maximum, or the maximum decreased by a multiple of two.The maximum number of negative real roots can be found by counting the number of sign changes in f(-x). The actual number of negative real roots may be the maximum, or the maximum decreased by a multiple of two.Complex roots always come in pairs. That's why the number of positive or number of negative roots must decrease by two. Using the two rules for positive and negative signs along with the fact that complex roots come in pairs, you can determine the number of complex roots.

What two numbers when multiplied give you 72 and when added give you -19?
I do not believe this is possible. Here's why. The factors of 72 are 36*2 18*4 12*6 9*8 Now to get a positive 72 both the factors must be negative so let's just add all the possible factors and see if we can come up with -19 -36 + (-2) = -38 -18 + (-4) = -22 -12 + (-6) = -18 -9 + (-8) = -17 So there you have it... no -19. I hope this is right!

How do positive and negative neutrons form?
They don't. A neutron is neutral; it doesn't come in positive and negative versions.
If a proton is negative and a neutron is positive when they come together equally how can there be positive and negative atoms?

yes it does come from the ground lighting is an oxidized column of air, the ground being the negative pole, and the air being the positive pole. Like arching a big spark.

How can you go from being negative to being positive?
well: Multiplication: for example... -1 X -1= 1(positive) so a negative times negative is always come out positive. Same thing as dividing too. Example: -x + 2= 0 -x= -2 then buy multiplying by -1 (-x= -2) -1 x= 2 Addition and subtractions: 5- (-2)= because the negative is subtracted it become positive 5 + 2= 7 5 + -2= 3 become positive, because negative 2 is added to a higher positive number. hope this answers your question
