Sum of a positive integer and a negative integer always positive true or false?
False.
When multiplying a negative number by positive number by a positive you get a?
A negative number e.g 3 times -4 = -12 Do the normal sum then add in the minus (when timing) :)
Is the sum of two integers positive or negative?
If for the two integers a + b = c, a is larger than zero and b is larger than the absolute value of the first number, then c is always positive. If a is smaller than zero, and b is larger than the absolute value of the second number, then c is positive. If a is smaller than zero, and b is smaller than the absolute value of the second number, then c is negative.
What is always true about the sum of a negative and a positive integer?
nothing here is an example -4+5=1 4+(-5)=-1unless you add negative to negative or positive to positive then you'd keep the sign
Is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always zero?
Only when the integers are the same but otherwise no.
Is the the sum of a negative number and a positive number always positive?
No
Is the sum of a positive number and a negative number always a positive number?
No
Why is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always negative?
It isn't always negative. ... for example: -5 + 12 = 7 (a positive number) -5 + 2 = -3 (a negative number) -5 + 5 = 0 (neither negative nor positive) If the negative number has greater magnitude than the positive number, the sum will be negative If the positive number has greater magnitude than the negative number, the sum will be positive If the negative and positive numbers have the same magnitude, the sum will be zero.
How can you decide if the sum of two numbers is positive negative or zero without actually calculating the sum?
The sum of two positive numbers is always positive, and the sum of two negatives is always negative. If you have a positive and a negative number, there sum can be either, so look at the absolute values to decide. For example -3+2=-1. Since all you care about is the sign, look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative and if the positive number's absolute value, which is the number itself, is bigger, the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is 0.
Is the sum of a position and a negative number always position?
Not necessarily; a positive number plus a negative number will be a positive number if the positive number is greater. Example: 10 + (-6) = 4
Is it true that the sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is always positive?
It depends, if a number with positive integers is greater than the number with the negative integer therefore the sum will be in positive integer. And if the number with positive integer is less than the number with the number with negative integer then the sum will be in negative integer.
Is the sum of a positive and negative number always a negative number?
Not necessarily; a positive number plus a negative number will be a positive number if the positive number is greater. Example: 10 + (-6) = 4
How does the sign of the product of the positive and a negative number compare withe the sign of the sum of a positive and a negative number?
The product of a positive and negative number is always negative The sum of a positive and negative number depends on which one is larger; subtract the two numbers and take the sign of the larger
Dose a negative number plus a negative number equal a positive number?
No. The sum of two negative numbers will always be a negative number. If, however, you multiply the numbers, their product will be positive.
Is the sum of a positive number and negative number always a negative number?
No. In the case of 5 + (-3), for example, the positive number 2 is the solution. The sum would only be negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the positive number.
Will the sum of two or more negative and positive integers always be an even number?
No.
Negative number plus a positive?
If the negative number is bigger then the sum would be negative.If the positive number is bigger then the sum is positive.
