Is positive divided by a positive a negative?
No, you cannot get a negative number that way.
Can an angle be negative in trigonometry?
no because the only way degrees can be negative is in temperature.
Is negative and negative positive or negative?
It depends on the arithmetic operation you are performing:---------------------------------In AdditionNegatives and negatives have a negative sum. The only way to obtain a positive sum is to have a larger positive value than negative value.(-1) + (-2) = (-3)----------------------------In subtractionSubtracting a negative number is the same as adding its negative value (which is positive).(-1) - (-3) = (-1) + 3 = 2-------------------------------In MultiplicationThe product of two negatives is a positive. The product of a negative and a positive is negative.(-1) x (-2) = 2(-3) x (4) = (-12)------------------------------In DivisionDividing a negative by a negative yields a positive number.Dividing a negative by a positive, or a positive by a negative, yields a negative number.(-4) / (-2) = 2(-4) / 2 = (-2)4 / (-2) = (-2)By re-multiplying from the results, you can see that this holds true.
Why is division opposite of multiplication?
Because mathematically it's the inverse operation, the same way that subtraction is the "opposite" (inverse operation) of addition.
How do you multiply or divide minus numbers?
You multiply or divide the same way, wahtever the sign. Just make sure that the signis correct at the end. For multiplication or division, an operation on two values with the same sign results in a positive answer, an operation on two values with different signs results in a negative answer - WHATEVER the order of the two values. So: + and + makes + - and - makes + + and - makes - - and + makes -
