If you subtract a positive from a negative what do you get?
A negative, since subtracting a positive is equivalent to moving left done the number line. Since we start left of 0 on the number line, it is only possible to end left of it after subtraction, resulting in a negative. Since the subtraction is the opposite of addition, to subtract a positive really means that you are adding a negative. So you are adding two negatives which gives you a negative sum.
How do you divide exponents of the same base?
By subtracting the two exponents from each other.NOTE: can only be done if the base is the same, like 23/21=22Also, make sure to subtract in the correct order, taking the top exponent and subtracting the one beneath it.

What is positive work done?
POSITIVE work is done when the direction of displacement and gravitational force is same. This makes an angle of zero degrees. Fd?FScos0 equals +1. The work done is positive.
How do you determine a work done is positive sign or negative sign?
If work is done on the system then it has a negative sign. If work is done by the system then it has a positive sign.
