What is a negative times a positive times a positive?
A negative. If you have a string of positive and negative numbers multiplied together, all you need to find the sign of the answer is to find the parity of the negative numbers. If there are an odd number of negatives then the answer is negative and if there are an even number of negatives then the answer is positive. Remember, positive numbers make no difference to the sign of the answer.
How many 2 digit numbers have a difference of 90?
There are no pairs of 2-digit numbers with a difference of 90 if both numbers are positive or both negative. However, with one positive and one negative, there are 71 pairs.
What is the difference between a negative number and a positive number?
Negative numbers are below zero whereas positive are above zero.
Without actually calculating the answer how can you decide if the difference of two numbers is positive negative or zero?
The sign of the larger number will be the sign of the answer, if you're adding them together. If they're the same size, and of different signs, the answer will be zero.
Is the difference of two positive numbers positive or negative?
If you are asking how many numbers difference is there between two numbers, then it will be positive. If you are referring to subtraction, if the number you are subtracting from is the larger number, it will be positive. If it is smaller it will be negative. 3 - 2 = 1 (3, the number being subtracted from, is larger, so the answer is positive) 2 - 3 = -1 (2, the number being subtracted from, is smaller, so the answer is negative)
How can you decide if the difference of two numbers is positive negative or zero without actually calculating the difference?
You can do this by inspection. If the second number is smaller than the first, their difference is positive. If the second number is greater than the first, then their difference is negative. If the second number is the same as the first number, then their difference is zero.
Is the difference of a positive integer and a negative integer always positive?
The difference between any numbers is always positive.
Is the difference of two positive numbers positive?
The difference between two numbers is the result of a subtraction. This can be either positive or negative, depending on which number is greater.

Is the difference of two positives a positive?
The difference between two numbers is the result of a subtraction. This can be either positive or negative.
How many 2 digit numbers have a difference of 90?
There are no pairs of 2-digit numbers with a difference of 90 if both numbers are positive or both negative. However, with one positive and one negative, there are 71 pairs.
What is the difference between a negative number and a positive number?
Negative numbers are below zero whereas positive are above zero.
How can you decide if the sum of two numbers is positive negative or zero without calculating the sum?
The sum of two negative numbers is positive and the sum of two negatives is negative. If you have both positive and negative numbers the sum can be either so look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative. If the positive number has a greater absolute value the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is zero.
When is it difference of a positive and negative integer positive?
The difference between a positive integer and a negative integer is ALWAYS positive.Suppose X and Y are positive so that -Y is negative,The the difference two numbers, A and B is A - B so the difference between X and (-Y) is X - (-Y) which equals X + Y. The sum of two positive numbers is always positive.
How do you teach the difference between negative numbers?
Put all the numbers - zero, positive, negative - on a number line. Positive numbers to the left, negative numbers to the right. The difference between any two numbers is represented by the distance between them. Thus putting numbers on a number line is a great visualization tool.
What happens when you use the Sum function and in the range of cells you find negative numbers?
It will still perform the calculation. The SUM function can deal with positive and negative numbers and it will deal with negative numbers correctly. So there will be no problems or errors if there are negative numbers amongst the numbers in the range of cells that it is calculating.
