Why multiplication of negative numbers equals positive?
When you multiply any number by a negative number you reverse its sign. So positive numbers become negative, and negative numbers become positive. That is the meaning of negative multiplication; it is reversal. This is similar to the way that adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting a positive number. Negative is the opposite of positive.
How can you go from being negative to being positive?
well: Multiplication: for example... -1 X -1= 1(positive) so a negative times negative is always come out positive. Same thing as dividing too. Example: -x + 2= 0 -x= -2 then buy multiplying by -1 (-x= -2) -1 x= 2 Addition and subtractions: 5- (-2)= because the negative is subtracted it become positive 5 + 2= 7 5 + -2= 3 become positive, because negative 2 is added to a higher positive number. hope this answers your question
What happens to a negative number with a positive exponent?
It will become a positive number.
If your positive and negative number are the same does it become a negative number or positive number?
It depends on what you are doing to the two identical numbers. If you are multiplying them, it becomes a negative. If you are dividing them, it becomes a negative. If you are adding them, it will always be zero (e.g., 2+ -2 = 0, etc.). There are two ways to subtract. If you are subtracting a positive from a negative, the number remains negative. If you are subtracting a negative from a positive, or a negative from a negative, the negative becomes a positive and you just add from there.
