How do you find the magnitude of an integer?
The magnitude of an integer is the value of the integer with a positive (plus) sign. |5| = +5 = 5 |-5| = +5 = 5
Why is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always negative?
It isn't always negative. ... for example: -5 + 12 = 7 (a positive number) -5 + 2 = -3 (a negative number) -5 + 5 = 0 (neither negative nor positive) If the negative number has greater magnitude than the positive number, the sum will be negative If the positive number has greater magnitude than the negative number, the sum will be positive If the negative and positive numbers have the same magnitude, the sum will be zero.
What are the rules for adding postive and negative integers?
Not sure if you want just a positive and a negative integer, added or more info.2 positive integers a & b (easiest)a + b the result is positive.2 negative integers a & bAdd the magnitude of a and magnitude of b, the result is negative.Example -2 + -5 = -(2+5) = -(7) = -7a is positive, b is negative, take the difference of the magnitudes, thenif |a| (magnitude of a) greater than |b| (magnitude of b), the result is positive.if |a| (magnitude of a) less than |b| (magnitude of b), the result is negative.Example: 2 + -5 (the difference of magnitudes is 5-2 = 3The negative number has a bigger magnitude, so the answer is negative: -3-2 + 5The difference is still 3, but the positive number has bigger magnitude,so the result is positive: +3
Which is bigger negative 5 or negative 17?
The absolute value (magnitude) of -17 is greater than the absolute value (magnitude) of -5. -5 is considered to be greater (more positive) than -17.
Can be magnitude of a vector have negative value?
Vectors have magnitude and direction. The magnitude is always a positive number.

Is a negative number minus a negative number a positive or negative answer?
It can have any sign. For example, -3 - (-1) = -3 + 1 = -2 the answer is negative. -3 - (-3) = -3 + 3 = 0 the answer is zero. -3 - (-5) = -3 + 5 = 2 the answer is positive. If the magnitude of the second negative [1] is smaller than the magnitude of the first [3], the answer is negative. If the magnitudes are equal, the answer is zero If the magnitude of the second number [5] is bigger than the magnitude of the first [3], the answer is positive.
Which is bigger negative 5 or negative 17?
The absolute value (magnitude) of -17 is greater than the absolute value (magnitude) of -5. -5 is considered to be greater (more positive) than -17.
Which magnitude of star is brighter -5 or 2?
A magnitude of -5 is brighter than a magnitude of 2. The magnitude scale used in astronomy is inverted, meaning the lower the number, the brighter the object. So, a negative magnitude indicates a brighter star than a positive magnitude.
Can be magnitude of a vector have negative value?
Vectors have magnitude and direction. The magnitude is always a positive number.
Is the sum of two integers psitive negative or zero how do yoknow?
The sum of two numbers depends on their signs and relative magnitudes.Both positive: sum positive Both zero: sum zero Both negative: sum negative Larger magnitude positive, smaller magnitude negative: sum positive Larger magnitude negative, smaller magnitude positive: sum negative Same magnitude, one positive and other negative: sum zero.
Is the sum of two integers psitive negative or zero how do you know?
The sum of two numbers depends on their signs and relative magnitudes.Both positive: sum positive Both zero: sum zero Both negative: sum negative Larger magnitude positive, smaller magnitude negative: sum positive Larger magnitude negative, smaller magnitude positive: sum negative Same magnitude, one positive and other negative: sum zero.
What is a positive add a negative?
The sum will have the same sign as the number with the largest magnitude. If the numbers have the same magnitude, then the answer is zero, which is positive.
Why the magnitude of a vector is always positive?
Magnitude is the absolute value which is always positive.--Edit: Magnitude is a scalar quantity thus regardless of the direction of the vector (which determines is positivity or negativity) the magnitude would be positive.Example: you take two steps forwards; the magnitude is two steps, regardless of it being forward or backwards (positive or negative)
What is bigger -3 or -5?
-5 has a larger magnitude. It depends on your definition of "bigger". If you say bigger means "has a larger magnitude" then -5 is bigger than -3. If you say that if two numbers A and B are in the set of integers from negative infinity to positive infinity, then A is bigger than B if A is closer to positive infinity than B, this means that -3 is bigger than -5.
