Why does a positive number divided by a negative number equal a negative number instead of infinity?
If you think about it, the division simbol means how many times a number can go into another number, so a positive number, like 5 goes into a negative number, like -25, -5 times, because the -5 is less than 1, and 5 cant go into anything less than one even once, so it goes in a negative amount of times. I'm not sure why a positive number divided by a negative number would be infinity.

When subtracting a negative number why do you move to the right on the number line instead of the left?
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. Also, adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. -7 + (-5) = -7 - 5 = -12 -7 - (-5) = -7 + 5 = -2
How many zeros does a googol have?
Googol is as far away from infinity as zero, but instead of being lower, it is higher.
What is the lowest positive integer greater than one which when divided by five or eight leaves a remainder of one?
6. 6 % 5 = 1, where % is the modulo operator (a fancy way of saying that it finds the remainder). If you were instead dividing by 8 and not 5, then the answer would be 9.
What is a smaller negative?
A smaller negative number is any negative number that is closer to zero than another negative number. In simpler terms, a negative number with a smaller absolute value is considered smaller. So, for example, -3 is smaller than -5 because 3 is less than 5. Hope that clears things up for you!
Why is subtracting a negative number the same as adding a positive number?
The best way to understand this is probably by thinking of the real number line:Subtracting can be thought of as switching directions as you move along the number line. For instance, 5 + 3 means you start at position 5 on the positive side of the number line and move to the right, the positive direction, 3 integral ticks. However, 5 - 3 means you switch directions. Now, you start at position 5 and move left, the negative direction, 3 integral ticks.Negation can be thought of in the same manner as subtraction; i.e. as a directional change on the number line. Using the above example, that would mean that for 5 + (-3) you would once again start at position 5 on the positive side of the number line and start to move right, since that what addition means. However, the negative sign in front of the 3 forces you to change direction, so instead you end up moving left 3 integral ticks.Now, to finally answer your question. 5 - (-3), using the number line, would again mean that you would start at position 5 on the positive side. The subtraction operation, as explained above, means that you would move left 3 ticks instead of right. However, the negation of 3, also explained above, means that you would once again switch directions, this time from left to right, and ultimately move 3 ticks that way, the positive direction. Hopefully, you can see that the end result of both 5 + 3 and 5 - (-3) has you moving 3 ticks in the same direction, that being the positive direction, which is why they can be thought of as the same operation.
What is infinity times infinity minus infinity?
Firstly, infinity is not a number (at least in lower level mathematics). You must instead use the language of limits to describe infinity. Using limits, a function which diverges to infinity multiplied by a function which diverges to infinity has a product which also diverges to infinity. However, taking this product, and subtracting away a function which diverges to infinity is "of indeterminate form". It might converge to zero, it might be diverge to positive infinity, it might diverge to negative infinity, or it might converge to a constant. In order to figure out which one of these possibilities applies, you must get the indeterminate form into the form infinity divided by infinity or 0/0 and then apply L'Hospital's rule. Edit: Just a pet peeve of mine. It's L'Hôpital, not L'Hospital. Even textbooks don't spell it right.
How do you write in interval notation 0 less than x less than positive infinity?
(0, infinity) Note that you should use the infinity sign instead of the word (the sideways 8).
Why product of two positive numbers is positive?
Cuz there's nothing to make it negative.... Just think of it as regular multiplying instead... Unless there is a negative...
Are archaebacteria gram positive or gram negative?
Archaebacteria are neither gram positive nor gram negative because they do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls like bacteria. Instead, they have unique cell wall structures that make them distinct from both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
What is voltage level for a negative logic system?
could be negative or positive"negative logic" just means, that the level used by "positive logic" within that logic family for False, is instead used for "True" and vice versa.
What is -5-2 in math?
-3
What is infinity is divided by infinity?
Oh, what a happy little question! When you divide infinity by infinity, it's like spreading love and kindness infinitely. Remember, in the world of mathematics, this expression is considered indeterminate because infinity is not a specific number but a concept of endlessness. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, let's embrace the mystery and beauty of infinity!
What are some positive and negative effects of Justin Bieber's music?
language can be a positive and a negative effect. justin will always sing in English and not any other language so young people are walking around listening and singing in English instead of there own language. but i dont know if it would be a positive or negative?

What type of number is negative 64 squared?
The question is ambiguous. If you meant negative (64 squared), the value is -4096, which is a negative integer. If, instead, you meant (negative 64) squared, the value is +4096, a positive integer.
