For example, divide 12 by -6:
Thus 12 ÷ -6 = -2
It does not work that way. A negative power is simply the reciprocal. So that x-a = 1/xa The reciprocal is negative or positive according to whether the number itself is negative or positive. [And, if the number is 0, the reciprocal is not defined.]
when work is positive and when playing is negative
Yes Work can be positive or Negative.
what is positive and negative
Multiply the integer by -1 this makes the number positive.
A positive number times a positive number will always get you a positive number A negative number times a negative number will always get you a positive number (same signs will get you a positive number) but A positive number times a negative number will always get you a negative number or A negative number times a positive number will always get you a negative number (different signs will get you a negative number)
you divide regularly but since both numbers are negatives the answer is positive example -5 divided by -9 equals 45
Yes. Good work.

Yes Work can be positive or Negative.
No, this will not work. Postitive to Negative/Negative to Positive will work.
what is positive and negative
you work left to right
Multiply the integer by -1 this makes the number positive.
No, because the inverse function would not work. Every time you multiply a positive by a positive you get a positive.
No. For example, 5 divided by 0.5 is equal to 10. In general, assuming you work with positive numbers only, if you divide by a number GREATER than one, the result will be less than the original number; if you divide by a number LESS than one, the result will be larger than the original number.
