Will the opposite of a positive number always sometimes or never be positive number?
Opposite of positive number will always be a negative number. The total of the two has to be zero as per the definition. So the zero does not have the opposite number.
Will the opposite of a number always sometimes or never be greater than the number itself?
Sometimes. Also, when depends on what you mean by "opposite": the additive inverse or the multiplicative inverse.
Is the product or the quotinent of two signed numbers that have opposite signs a positive number or a negative number?
The answer will always be Negative in Sign. If they are the same sign, it will always be Positive in Sign.
What is absolute value of the opposite of a nonzero rational number?
The absolute value is always positive.
Is the opposite of a negative number always sometimes or never a negative number?
never a negative number * * * * * ... true if, by opposite, you mean the additive inverse. However, the multplicative inverse is also an opposite. And the multiplicative inverse of a negative number is always negative.

How do Absolute value of a number and it's opposite compare?
The absolute value of a number is always positive or zero, while its opposite is always negative or zero. The relationship between the absolute value of a number and its opposite is that they have the same numerical value but opposite signs. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the opposite of 5 is -5.
What is absolute value of the opposite of a nonzero rational number?
The absolute value is always positive.
Is the opposite of a negative number always sometimes or never a negative number?
never a negative number * * * * * ... true if, by opposite, you mean the additive inverse. However, the multplicative inverse is also an opposite. And the multiplicative inverse of a negative number is always negative.
Is the sum of zero and positive number always sometimes or never zero?
Never.
Is negative n always sometimes or never a positive number?
Sometimes.* If "n" is positive, "-n" is negative. * If "n" is negative, "-n" is positive. * If "n" is zero, "-n" is also zesro.
How do you find whether the square of any nonzero number is sometimes always or never a positive number?
Remember that when two numbers with the same sign are multiplied,their product is always positive.
