Whenyou have two positive numbers which is greater?

Is the difference of two positive numbers positive?

The difference between two numbers is the result of a subtraction. This can be either positive or negative, depending on which number is greater.

How do you decide which of two numbers is greater when one number is positive and one number is negative?

The positive number is always greater.

Is the product of two positive numbers greater than the sum of the two numbers?

Not always, but most of the time.

What is the sign for multiplication and addition?

If you multiply two numbers, the result will be positive, if both factors are positive, or if both are negative. Multiplying a positive number by a negative number, or a negative number by a positive number, results in a negative result.For addition, if you add two positive numbers, the result is positive. If you add two negative numbers, the result is negative. If you add a positive and a negative number, the result depends on which of the numbers has the greater absolute value. For example, if the positive number has the greater absolute value (distance from zero), the result will be positive.If you multiply two numbers, the result will be positive, if both factors are positive, or if both are negative.

How can you decide which of two numbers are greater when both numbers are positive?

The farthest number from zero is the greatest number.

Counterexample of the product of two positive numbers is greater than the sum of two numbers?

1x1=1 1+1=2

Is the sum of two numbers is always greater than either of the two numbers?

Consider 4 cases 1. The sum of any two positive numbers is clearly greater than either number. 2. The sum of any two negative numbers is LESS than either of the two numbers. ( (Look at -2+(-3)=-5 .) 3. The sum of any negative number and a positive number is always greater than the negative number but less than the positive number. (Look at -2+3=1, or -5+3=-2) 4. The sum of any number and 0 is that number so it is not greater. So it appears that the sum of any two numbers is greater than either of the two numbers when the two number are both positive.

How does the quotient between 2 negative numbers compare to the value of the original 2 integers?

The quotient of two negative numbers is positive. So, when dividing two negative numbers, the result will be positive.

How do you get a negative answer when subtracting two positive numbers?

Have the second number be greater than the first.

Why cant the sum of two mixed numbers be equal to 2?

The sum of two positive mixed numbers can not equal two because all positive mixed numbers are greater then one.no two can be, 1 1/2 and 1/2

Is positive five greater than negative five?

Yes. Write the number line horizontally with the negative numbers to the left, zero in the middle and positive numbers to the right, then the further right a number is, the greater it is; so with two numbers the number further right on the line is the greater of the two: Positive five is to the right of negative five, therefore it is greater than negative five, ie +5 > -5

Is the geometric mean of two positive numbers greater then the average of the two numbers?

Geometric mean is not the same as the maths average. It is the nth root of the product of n numbers.
