The quotient of two numbers with opposite signs is negative because division can be thought of as repeated subtraction. When you divide a positive number by a negative number, you are essentially asking how many times the negative number can fit into the positive number, which results in a negative value. Similarly, dividing a negative number by a positive number also yields a negative result for the same reason. Thus, the rule is that the quotient of numbers with opposite signs is always negative.
What else can I help you with?
What is the opposite of the integer 2?
The opposite of the integer 2 is -2. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is found by changing its sign. Therefore, while 2 is a positive integer, -2 is its negative counterpart.
What is four minus negative two?
2 - (-4) is equal to 2 + 4. The answer to that is 6.
What is the opposite of an absolute value of a negative number?
A negative number. For example: -I -2 I = -2 because -2= 2 and the opposite of 2 is -2.
Is a negative number divided by a positive number is Positive or a negative?
The answer is negative, no matter what.so.... if you had an equation like........-4/2=xx =-2Basically, if you can't think of what the answer would be, try it with the opposite sign. For example, -4/2=x could be turned into (x)(2) = -4. In this case, the negative is missing, so you would need to put it in. So if a negative number multiplied by a positive number is negative, the opposite must be true: A negative number divided by a positive number gives a negative answer.here is a song that will help with any complication with adding and subtracting negative numbers that my pre-algebra teacher taught me......(thanks Ms.Zachary!)Same sign add and keep,different sign subtract.Take the sign of the larger one,and then you'll be exact.

(The product of 33 negative numbers) x (2 positive numbers) = (negative sign) x (positive sign) = negative sign
Qoutient of a number and 50?
The quotient of 50 and a number is 2.
What is 14 equals 2 plus r-21?
In these types of questions, you have to try to isolate the unknown variable.14 = 2 + r - 21.Remember whenever you move ANYTHING over the equals sign, you have to make its sign opposite. Since the r is positive, and we are moving it over the equals sign we have to make it a negative sign. When we move the 14 over, it is currently positive so we make it into a negative.-r = -14 + 2 - 21-r = -12 - 21-r = -43(Eliminate the negative sign)r = 43.
Why do you flip the inequality sign when multiplying by a negative number?
Because when you fit in the variables, it wouldn't be true. therefore, you have to flip the inequality sign For example, 3 > 2 True 3(-2) > 2(-2) -6 > -4 False If you change the direction of the inequality symbol, in the same time that you multiply by a negative number, then you find a true statement. 3 > 2 True 3(-2) < 2(-2) -6 < -4 True This is because the greater the absolute value of a negative number, the lesser it is, while the opposite is true for a positive number. When you multiply by a negative, a very large number becomes very small, or the opposite.
What is a positive number divided by a negative number?
when you are dividing 2 numbers with the same sign the answer is ALWAYS positive but when you are dividing 2 number with opposite signs the answer is ALWAYS negitive. the same is true with multiplication also
