In mathematics, "positive" refers to numbers greater than zero, including whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, while "negative" denotes numbers less than zero. Positive numbers indicate a gain or an increase, whereas negative numbers represent a loss or a decrease. For instance, in a number line, positive values are found to the right of zero, and negative values are to the left. This distinction is crucial in various mathematical operations and real-world applications.

Negative exponents in real life situations are like getting rid of pesky little numbers by sending them to the basement. They basically tell you to take the reciprocal of the number with the positive exponent. So, if you see a negative exponent, just flip the base to get rid of it like a bad habit. It's all about playing mathematical mind games to make the numbers work in your favor.

There are lots of situations in the real world in which there are opposites, which can conveniently be expressed with positive/negative numbers. Here are some examples:Having money (positive), having a debt (negative)Getting a profit (positive) or a loss (negative) with a business ventureAn altitude above (positive) or below (negative) sea levelGaining points or losing points in a gameMoving in one direction or in the opposite direction. In this case, it is quite arbitrary which direction is chosen as positive.
No. Inventory and engineering work need negative numbers to measure. Also, how can we measure the temperature if it's freezing cold without negative numbers? Integers are needed for calculations and measurements in this world.
Negative numbers do not show up much in the real world unless someone is trying to figure out a problem. The numbers were first discovered by the Indian civilization.
