6 divided by negative 1?
-6 Yes the answer would be -6. But in order to get that answer you must know this: positive divided by a positive = positive positive divided by a negative = a negative negative divided by a positive = a negative negative divided by a negative = positive (also note: it's the same formula for multiplying)
What is the additive inverse of the real number represented by n?
That would be -n. Note that if n is positive, -n is negative, whereas if n is negative, -n will be positive.
Examples for integers?
any negative or positive whole number Ex. -4, 6, -9, 7 Note: No decimals or fractions
How do you multipy two negative fractions?
same as you would multiply 2 normal fractions. Note: a negative times a negative = a positive so - a/b x - c/d = ac/bd e.g -1/2 x - 3/5 = 3/10
Determine in which direction the parabola opens y equals x2-7x plus 18?
A parabola opens upwards if the quadratic coefficient - the number before the "x2" is positive; downward if it is negative. Note that x2 is the same as 1x2.

-6 Yes the answer would be -6. But in order to get that answer you must know this: positive divided by a positive = positive positive divided by a negative = a negative negative divided by a positive = a negative negative divided by a negative = positive (also note: it's the same formula for multiplying)
Do you perceive these norms as positive or negative?
Norms can be positive or negative, depending on a multitude of factors. NOTE: This is not a good homework question to cut and paste here.

That would be -n. Note that if n is positive, -n is negative, whereas if n is negative, -n will be positive.
How do you make a number that is not zero become zero?
multiply it by zero, or add its inverse {the negative of the number} Note that the inverse of a negative number is positive.
What is negative divided a positive?
Here is a table for multiplication / division of positive/negative numbers. X/ + = + X/ - = - X/ + = - X/ - = + NB 'X/' means multiply or division. NNB If there is no sign in front of a number treat it as positive (+). e.g. 2 X 2 = 4 (Note ; no symbols, so it is treated as plus(+)) 2 X -2 = -4 -2 X 2 = -4 -2 x -2 = (+)4
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
What does a negative minus a positive equal?
A negative subracting a positive will end up as a negative. Explanation: If you have 3 negatives, you cannnot take 3 positives from it, so you need to add 3 zeros, (which are both negative and positive), to the negative side. The number zero means nothing, so it will not alter the question. KEY _ =negative + =positive _+ =zero _ _ _ needs _+ _+ _+ to subract + + + Once you take the 3 positives from the negative side, you will be left with 6 negatives _ _ _ _+_+_+ minus + + + leaves you with _ _ _ _ _ _ *NOTE* You may be thinking, "But the zero did count! It's symbol left a mark on the answer!". Wrong. Zero in math means nothing, and that is how it will stay. You only needed it because it had the positive sign you were looking for. But because it is both positive and negative, you will be left with a negative when you take away the positive, and a positive when you take away the negative. This is why a positive subracting a negative will equal a negative.
Is negative two plus five negative three or positive three?
-2 + 5 = 3 note that this is equivalent to 5 - 2 = 3; subtraction is commutative.
What is the value of the expression -4 x -2?
-2
What are the positive and negative referred to?
When used with numbers, positive means "more than zero", and negative means "less than zero". Other meanings are:* Positive: something favorable; negative: something unfavorable. * Positive: something is found; negative: nothing was found. Especially used for medical analysis. Note that this meaning is quite contrary to the previous one - since finding a disease can be quite unfavorable for the patient!
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
Find the product of -21 and -3?
Note that since both numbers are negative we end up with a positive number in the end.
