The use of negative numbers dates back to ancient civilizations, with the earliest documented use attributed to the Chinese during the Han Dynasty (around 200 BCE to 200 CE). They used negative numbers in calculations and to represent debts. The concept was later adopted and further developed by Indian mathematicians, such as Brahmagupta in the 7th century, who provided rules for arithmetic involving negative numbers.
A negative number multiplied by a negative number will yield a positive number.
Since 405 is positive, using one negative number forces one to actually use two negative numbers. The pair -1x-405 would work for instance.
To express the product of the cube of a number and negative six, you can use algebraic notation. If we let the variable ( x ) represent the number, the expression would be written as ( -6x^3 ). This indicates that you first cube the number ( x ) and then multiply the result by negative six.
The first place to use negative integers was China around 200 B.C
First, subtract the absolute values of the integers, then use the greater absolute value's sign.
You use a negative rational number when an answer is below zero.
Multiply the positive number by any negative number and it will result in a negative number.
Start at zero and move the value of the first number right (move left if negative) Then move up the value of the second number (down if negative)
A negative number multiplied by a negative number will yield a positive number.
