It depends on the arithmetic operation you are performing:---------------------------------In AdditionNegatives and negatives have a negative sum. The only way to obtain a positive sum is to have a larger positive value than negative value.(-1) + (-2) = (-3)----------------------------In subtractionSubtracting a negative number is the same as adding its negative value (which is positive).(-1) - (-3) = (-1) + 3 = 2-------------------------------In MultiplicationThe product of two negatives is a positive.

Not always. (-4)-2 = 1/(-4)2 = 1/16 which is positive. (-4)-3 = 1/(-4)3 = 1/(-64) which is negative.
-4 > -4 1/2
You would use the reverse operation for a negative integer being added or subtracted.To add a negative integer, subtract its absolute value (positive value).Example : 4 + (-3) = 4 - (3) = 1To subtract a negative integer, add its absolute (positive) value.Example : 4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6Beginning with a negative, adding a negative increases the negative value.Example : (-4) + (-3) = -7Subtracting a negative reduces the negative value.Example (-4) - (-1) = (-3) * this is the same as (-4) + 1 = (-3)

It can be a negative or a positive number depending on the absolute value of the power.e.g.(-4) to the power of -2 gives (1/16) and(-4) to the power of -1 gives (-1/4)
If the negative has a greater absolute value, the sum will be negative. If the positive has a greater absolute value, the sum will be positive.
Not always. (-4)-2 = 1/(-4)2 = 1/16 which is positive. (-4)-3 = 1/(-4)3 = 1/(-64) which is negative.

-4 + -5 + -2 + -1 = -12 (negative 12).
The difference between two negative numbers is negative if the second number ( the number you are subtracting from the first) is less in value than the first. For example (-3) - ( -2) = -3 + 2 = -1 (-3) - (-4) = -3 + 4 = + 1

Depends on how big they are. The resulting number could be positive or negative. Negative 1/4 and Positive 1/2 will be a Positive 1/4. Positive 1/4 and Negative 1/2 will be a Negative 1/4.
Yes. The letter i denotes the value of the "positive square root" of -1. So i² = -1. But also (-i)² = -1 as well. Remember that for every number there is a "positive" and "negative" square root. So if you want the square root of -4, you can do this: -4 = (-1)(4). So sqrt(-4) = sqrt[(-1)(4)] = sqrt(-1)*sqrt(4) = i*2 or -i*2. We usually write these as 2i and -2i.
