A positive number times a positive number is always positive. A negative number times a negative number is always positive. Therefore, any square number will be positive. Any number to the fourth power (a square times a square) will always be positive. And so on.
If you are multiplying negative numbers, an odd number of factors will have a negative product. An even number of factors will have a positive product.
No. They have different number of factors
The product of 2 consecutive positive number is 48. Find the 2 numbers
4.
All positive integers which are not perfect squares.
Positive
When a negative number is raised to an even power the result is a positive number
yes
Yes
Any number, positive or negative, raised to an even-numbered power, returns a positive number.
No. Negative numbers to even powers are positive.
A negative integer raised to an even power results in a positive integer, not a negative integer. This occurs because multiplying a negative number by itself an even number of times cancels out the negative signs. For example, ((-2)^2 = 4) and ((-3)^4 = 81), both of which are positive. Therefore, the statement is incorrect; a negative integer raised to an even power is always positive.
The multiplication rule of thumb always states that a negative number times a negative number results in a positive number. Since an even number is always divisible by two, any value raised to an even integer power will result in a positive number. However, a basic proof is presented as follows: (-A) * (-A) = A^2 ((-A) * (-A)) ^ 2 = ((-A * -A) * (-A * -A)) = A^2 * A^2 = A ^ 4 ...
No, or more accurately "not necessarily".A negative to any even power is positive. -2, -4, -6 etc. are even, so a negative number raised to any of those powers will be positive.However, a negative number raised to an odd negative power (-1, -3, -5 etc.) will be negative.
-120= 1 because 1.) any negative number raised to an even power will result in a positive numberand 2.) 1 raised to any power is 1.
yes, but the answer will remain negative. for example, (-2)3 is -8 in order to make a negative number positive, it must be raised to an even power, for example (-2)2 = 4
Yes (when the power is a positive integer). It is possible to have powers that are negative, rational, irrational and even complex and there are similar rules for dealing with them.
