What happens to a rational number when it is multiplied by an integer between negative one and zero?
All numbers between negative one and zero are negative. When you multiply a number by a negative it becomes negative. Also, all numbers between negative one and zero are decimals. When you multiply a number by a decimal it becomes smaller. Thus, when you multiply a rational number by a number between negative one and zero, it becomes smaller and negative.
What kind of conditional statemenr is this If a number is negative then it is less than zero If a number is less than zero then it is a negative number?
There are two statements and it is not clear which one you are referring to.
What is the difference between a positive and negative fraction?
If you mean the difference in terms of numerical value, then it is the positive faction minus the negative faction, which is calculated as the positive fraction plus the absolute value* of the negative fraction - just like the difference between a positive and negative number. * The absolute value of a number is the value of the number ignoring any minus sign; eg abs(-4) = 4 = abs(4). If you mean the difference in terms of where they are on the number line, then the positive fraction is one side of zero (it is greater than zero) and the negative fraction is the other side of zero (it is less than zero).
What number is before zero?
The number before zero is negative one (-1). In the number line, negative numbers come before zero, with each number getting smaller as you move to the left. Therefore, the number that comes immediately before zero is negative one.
Which number can you square that gives an answer smaller than the number thought of?
3i where i is the square root of negative one.3i x 3i = -9
