The [multiplicative] opposite of -2 is -0.5, which is negative.
A negative can be thought of as being the opposite of something. The opposite of a negative is positive so the negative of a negative is positive. Example: (-2)(-3) = (-1)(2)(-1)(3) = (-1)(-1)(2)(3) = (-1)2(6) = (1)(6) = 6
Any positive numbers opposite is the same number just as a negative.
The answer depends on whether you mean additive opposite (TRUE) or multiplicative opposite (FALSE).
opposites somehow like a positive number is the opposite of a negative and a negative number is the opposite of a positive
2 is the second number on the positive side. -2 is 2's opposite.
The [multiplicative] opposite of -2 is -0.5, which is negative.
In trigonometry, the sine function represents the ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle. In quadrants 1 and 2, the angle is measured from the positive x-axis in a counterclockwise direction. Since the opposite side is positive in these quadrants and the hypotenuse is always positive, the sine function is positive. This is because the sine function is defined as positive when the opposite side is positive relative to the hypotenuse.
A negative can be thought of as being the opposite of something. The opposite of a negative is positive so the negative of a negative is positive. Example: (-2)(-3) = (-1)(2)(-1)(3) = (-1)(-1)(2)(3) = (-1)2(6) = (1)(6) = 6
Any positive numbers opposite is the same number just as a negative.
The opposite polarity or charge is negative. The opposite of a numeral or balance is also negative, or deficient. The opposite of (being) positive would be unsure or uncertain.
The answer depends on whether you mean additive opposite (TRUE) or multiplicative opposite (FALSE).
opposites somehow like a positive number is the opposite of a negative and a negative number is the opposite of a positive
if a is bad, then negative bad or not bad is good.-a means the opposite of a. Since a is negative and the opposite of a negative is positive, -a is positive.
The additive opposite is -8.
32 positive or +32
Negative in English terms means "opposite." Multiplication can represent "of". So, negative times negative is the "opposite of the opposite." And the opposite of an opposite is the same, hence positive, because "same" is the opposite of "opposite" and positive is the opposite of negative. So if you put it into English words, it actually makes some sense. In essence, negative and negative "cancel out."
