An isoquant is a graph showing the same quantity of output for various combinations of inputs. Since these are all measures of quantity, they must all be positive.
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
An isoquant cannot have a positive slope because it represents combinations of inputs that produce the same level of output. A positive slope would imply that increasing one input while decreasing another would lead to higher output, which contradicts the definition of an isoquant. Instead, isoquants are typically downward sloping, indicating that as one input is increased, the other must be decreased to maintain the same output level. This reflects the trade-off between inputs in the production process.
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
A negative divided by a positive is negative. A negative divided by a negative is positive. A positive divided by a positive is positive. A positive divided by a negative is negative.
positive and a positive is a positive negative and a negative is a positive to answer your question: positive and a negative is a negative.
negative slope, convexity to its origin
Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
Linear isoquant [perfect substitutability of factors of production], Input-output isoquant or Leontif isoquant [no substitution or strict complementarity; only one efficient method of production] are exceptions to isoquant convexity to the origin. Kinked isoquant is of limited substitutability at kinks. But if kinks come closer and closer, it will become a smooth curve, convex to the origin.
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
Yes. Negative/negative = positive Postive/Positive = positive Negative/Positive - negative
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
A negative divided by a positive is negative. A negative divided by a negative is positive. A positive divided by a positive is positive. A positive divided by a negative is negative.
Negatives and Positives Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Negative = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative Positive + Negative = Negative
a negative x a negative= a positive, a positive x a positive= a positive, a negative x a positive= a negative, and a positive x a negative= a negative. Same thing with division. a negative divided by a negative= a positive, a positive divided by a positive= a positive, a negative divided by a positive= a negative, and a positive divided by a negative is a negative. U see?
positive and a positive is a positive negative and a negative is a positive to answer your question: positive and a negative is a negative.
negative*negative=positive negative/positive=negative negative\negative=positve negative-positive=change the sign to a plus and then change the number after the sign and get your answer negative +positive=which ever numbr is bigger minus positive+positive=positive
