It's the same as adding a positive number.
The sign of the answer will always be a positive number because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive (
Every positive rational number and its negative are the two square roots of the same positive rational number.
The absolute value of a negative number is positive.
The absolute value of a number is the distance it is away from zero or in other words, the number will become positive, but if it is already positive, will remain the same.
The reciprocal of a number is (1) divided by (the number).
positive x positive = positive negative x negative = positive positive x negative = negative negative x positive = negative The same rules apply for dividing, since dividing is actually multiplying by the reciprical.
The 'reciprocal' of any number is ' 1 ' divided by it.
Take any fraction x/y and multiple that by it's reciprical, y/x. The result is x*y/x*y, or one. so any positive fraction multiplied by it's reciprical is one. hope that helped :)
Division is multiply by the reciprocal.
1/0.8 is the reciprocal of 0.8 . A reciprocal of any number is the is the one divided by that number.
"Minus a negative number" is the same as "plus a positive number" so you have a positive plus a positive number - making a bigger positive number.
Any number times it's reciprocal is one over one.
It's the same as adding a positive number.
When the number is non-negative- that is, if it is zero or positive.
It would be a positive number. A negative number divided by a negative number would be positive. A positive number divided by a positive number would also be positive. So, the quotient of 2 integers with the same sign will be a positive number, regardless of which sign the two numbers had.
