Two positive integers and four negative integers are all multiplied together Is the final result positive or negative?
The final result is positive.
The sum of two negative integers is a positive integer?
No, the sum of two negative integers is not a positive integer. For example, if you add -5 and -6 together the sum would be -11.
What is the rule for adding negative integers?
Adding negatives is exactly the same as taking away the positive number. Alternatively you can think of it as "imagine both the numbers are positive, add them together. This number is then negative. And you're done".
What is it called the collection of positive negative and zero number together?
The answer will depend on what you mean by number: integers, rationals, reals, complex numbers, etc.
Is it never always or sometimes the sum of two positive integers is zero?
The sum of two positive integers is never zero. The sum of two numbers a and b can only be zero if a=-b, or a=0 and b=0. Since 0 is not a positive integer, and a and b cannot both be positive integers if a=-b, then it is impossible for the sum of two positive integers to be zero. _______________________________________________________________ The above answer is correct. Here is another way to say it: An integer is any whole number including negative numbers, positive numbers and zero. However, a "positive integer" is a whole number greater than zero. The "sum of two positive integers" means you are adding two numbers greater than zero together. Therefore, the sum of two positive integers can never be a negative integer, and can never be zero. Example: 1 + 1 = 2
