The answer depends on whether you mean additive opposite (TRUE) or multiplicative opposite (FALSE).
opposites somehow like a positive number is the opposite of a negative and a negative number is the opposite of a positive
The additive opposite is -8.
Negative in English terms means "opposite." Multiplication can represent "of". So, negative times negative is the "opposite of the opposite." And the opposite of an opposite is the same, hence positive, because "same" is the opposite of "opposite" and positive is the opposite of negative. So if you put it into English words, it actually makes some sense. In essence, negative and negative "cancel out."
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
The opposite of negative is positive. In mathematics, the term "negative" refers to numbers less than zero, while "positive" refers to numbers greater than zero. These terms are used to describe the direction or sign of a number on the number line.
The opposite polarity or charge is negative. The opposite of a numeral or balance is also negative, or deficient. The opposite of (being) positive would be unsure or uncertain.

if a is bad, then negative bad or not bad is good.-a means the opposite of a. Since a is negative and the opposite of a negative is positive, -a is positive.
The opposite integer of 4 is -4. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is its additive inverse, which means the number that, when added to the original number, results in zero. Therefore, the opposite integer of 4 is -4 because 4 + (-4) = 0.
The additive opposite is -8.

The opposite of a negative charge is a positive charge. Positive charges have more protons than electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge.
No. The product of two opposite numbers is always negative. Negative x positive = negative and Positive x negative = negative
positive, good
Negative
