Why is it impossible to get a negative answer when you square any number?
V kno that- x- is +. Now when u sqare a negative no it means occouring 2 times and cancel out each other. For example- -2 x -2=4 ============================ (a second answer.) Every real number is either negative, positive or zero. When you square a number, you multiply it by itself, so if you square a negative number, you are multiplying a negative by a negative which gives a positive. If you square a positive, you multiply a positive by a positive and get a positive. If you square 0 , get 0. Therefore, in no case is the answer negative. ( It is harder to explain why a negative times a negative is positive.)
A teacher wrote two numbers on the board negative 10 and positive 7 On the lines below explain which number has the larger absolute value and why?
Negative 10 because the absolute value of a number is the positive and negative form of that number. For example: The absolute value of 9 is positive 9 and negative 9. Therefore, it would be greater than the absolute value of any number below it.
What does it mean when a number has 2 lines around it?
That it is an absolute value which means that it is literally just the number, neither positive nor negative, but stands for ALL values of that number including the positive and the negative. so for instance if you had |2| it is neither positive nor negative as that, but it stands for a +2 and a -2. Slightly confusing to explain, but... hope it's helpful.
In the exponential expression a raise to negative n is a positive integer the variable a cannot be equal to zero Explain why this is so?
a^(-n) = (1/a)^nIf a is 0, the above expression would require division by 0, which is not defined.
Explain Why the product of two nonzero absolute values is always a positive number?
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, so it is always non-negative. When you multiply two nonzero absolute values, you are essentially multiplying two non-negative numbers together. In multiplication, a positive number multiplied by a positive number always results in a positive number, hence the product of two nonzero absolute values is always positive.
What are some examples of real life situations to explain why a negative number times a negative number will give a negative number?
A negative number times a negative number gives you a POSITIVE number, not a negative number.
Explain your ability to speak clearly and persuasively in positive or negative situations?
Okay! I shall! Gosh, this is hard.... never mind!
Explain would the formation of a goiter be positive or negative feedback?

Explain why the square root of 64 has a positive and a negative value?
That simply means that there is both a positive and a negative number which, when squared, gives you 64.
When a negative number is subtracted from a positive number a positive a negative number or a zero explain and give an example?
LOVE to HATE = Hate (Negative)LOVE to LOVE = Love (Positive)HATE to HATE = Hate (Negative)HATE to LOVE = Hate (Negative)HATE is a NEGATIVE numberLOVE is a POSITIVE number
Explain how you can find the sign of the product of two or more rational numbers?
Negative times negative equals positive. Positive times positive equals positive. Positive times negative equals negative. If you have more than two numbers, multiply the first two and then apply these rules to each successive number in turn.
Can the square of an integer be a negative number explain?
No, any 2 negative numbers multiplied together equal a positive number
What about a real life situation to explain why a negative times a negative number will give a positive number?
there is no real life situation
