How do you divide a negative denominator?
The same way as with a positive denominator. The difference is, you change the sign of the numerator.
A fraction with a negative numerator whose absolute value is greater than its positive denominator is a number less than negative one?
Yes.
What do you do when multiplying a positive exponent by a negative exponent?
Example: (4x)-2 The answer to this would be 1/ 16x2. Multiply it out as if the negative exponent was not there ((4x)2), then that will be the denominator of the fraction. The numerator is one.
Negative 3 is the reciprocal so what is the opposite of negative 3?
Actually the reciprocal of any number is that number in the denominator instead of in the numerator. The reciprocal of -3 is 1 over -3.
4 to the negative first power?
4 to the negative 1st power is written4^-1to get rid of the negative exponent, take the inverse (flip the denominator and numerator). So,4^-1 becomes1/(4^1)4^1 = 4 so we see that1/(4^1) = 1/4.So,4^-1 = 1/4
How do you convert negative fractions into decimals?
You remove the negative sign long enough to divide the numerator by the denominator then put the negative back on its place value
Is A Fraction Negative if it has a negative numerator?
If the numerator is negative and the denominator is positive then the fraction will be negative. If the numerator is negative and the denominator is negative too then the fraction will be positive.
If you have a fraction and both the numerator and the denominator are negative and you simplify it would the numerator and denominator stay negative?
The simplification will be positive. In other words, the numerator and the denominator will NOT stay negative.
If both the numerator and the denominator are negative does that make the fraction negative?
No!If numerator and denominator have the same signs the fraction is positive.If numerator and denominator have opposite signs the fraction is negative.
How do you simplify an integer?
That is impossible. Integers are whole numbers(positive, negative, and zero). You could possibly have an integer with a denominator of one, but all you would have to do is remove the denominator.*NOTE: If your denominator is greater than one, divide by the integer.
Can you have negative exponents in the denominator?
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
How do you get the additive inverse for a negative denominator?
It is the same number without the negative sign.
How do you divide a negative denominator?
The same way as with a positive denominator. The difference is, you change the sign of the numerator.
What if you divide a negative by a positive?
You will end up with a negative value. It does not matter whether the numerator or denominator is negative. If either value is negative, the answer will be negative.
How do you make a decimal into a negative exponent?
You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the exponent.
What is negative 10 plus x divided by negative 4 equals negative 15?
I take this to be: ( -10 + x )/(-4) = -15 To remove the denominator on the left-hand side, multiply by -4 on both sides: -10 + x = 60 To remove the -10 from the left-hand side, add 10 to both sides: x = 70
If the numerator is negative and the denominator is positive is the number?
The number would have to be negative. It really is the same as a positive numerator and denominator, just put a negative if the denominator is negative. Its like this15 divided by 3 is 515 divided by -3 would be -5so it asks what if the numerator was negative how many times would 3 go into it and the answer is -5.(+)/(-)=(-)(-)/(+)=(-)(+)/(+)=(+)(-)/(-)=(-)same applies to addition and subtration and multiplication.hope this helps.
